Flood Advisory Issued
September 24, 2010
The National Weather Service in Mobile has issued a
* Flood Advisory for…
west central Escambia County in northwest Florida…
east central Baldwin County in southwest Alabama…
* until 430 PM CDT
National Weather Service radar showed a series of showers and
thunderstorms continuing to move northward over east central Baldwin
County and west central Escambia County between Elsanor Alabama and
McKinnon Florida. The rain pattern is showing a slow northward drift
around 5 mph. Estimated rainfall rate is 2 to 3 inches per hour
which may flood poorly drained areas and increase the risk of motor
vehicle accidents due to hydroplaning and low visibility.
Precautionary/preparedness actions…
Motorists should slow down to anticipate high water and ponding
which can cause accidents due to hydroplaning and low visibility.
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…dont drown.
Do not drive your vehicle into areas where the water covers the
roadway. The water depth may be too great to allow your car to cross
safely. Move to higher ground.
