Some roads remain impassable. Motorists should avoid any water covered roads, if you cannot see the roadway, find an alternate route you don’t know what condition the road is in under the water. Please be cautious when driving, especially at night. Your car can be swept off the road in as little as 1 foot of water. Do not go around barricades or road closures. Turn Around Don’t Drown.
