THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MOUNT HOLLY NJ  HAS ISSUED A

* FLOOD ADVISORY FOR...
  MONROE COUNTY IN NORTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA...

* UNTIL 830 PM EDT

* AT 527 PM EDT...DOPPLER RADAR AND AUTOMATED RAIN GAUGES INDICATED
  HEAVY RAIN FROM EARLIER THUNDERSTORMS. THOUGH MOST OF THE HEAVY
  RAIN HAS LEFT THE ADVISORY AREA...IT WILL TAKE TIME FOR THE RUNOFF
  TO DRAIN INTO STREAMS. IN ADDITION...A FEW MORE SHOWERS MAY MOVE
  INTO THE ADVISORY AREA THROUGH SUNSET. THIS WILL CAUSE MINOR
  FLOODING IN THE ADVISORY AREA. UP TO TWO INCHES OF RAIN HAVE
  ALREADY FALLEN.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

MOST FLOOD DEATHS OCCUR IN AUTOMOBILES. NEVER DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO
AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE ROADWAY. FLOOD WATERS ARE USUALLY
DEEPER THAN THEY APPEAR. JUST ONE FOOT OF FLOWING WATER IS POWERFUL
ENOUGH TO SWEEP VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD. WHEN ENCOUNTERING FLOODED
ROADS MAKE THE SMART CHOICE...TURN AROUND...DON'T DROWN.
