The National Weather Service recommends staying inside and avoiding travel if possible. If you must go outside, avoid walking through flooded areas. Furthermore, stay away from any fast-moving bodies of water or rushing rivers that may be able to sweep you away. If you see a flooded area and happen to be in a vehicle, turn around and find another way. Do not drive through flooded areas as you could end up stranded, stuck or drowned.
