COUNTIES...
AT 728 PM CDT...DOPPLER RADAR INDICATES THAT TWO TO THREE INCHES OF 
RAIN FELL OVER THE WARNED AREA...PARTICULARLY IN AND AROUND THE 
CITIES OF SYLACAUGA AND STEWARTVILLE. ALTHOUGH THE RAINFALL HAS 
ENDED...IT MAY TAKE SOME TIME FOR WATER TO RECEDE TO NORMAL LEVELS.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
EXCESSIVE RUNOFF FROM HEAVY RAINFALL WILL CAUSE FLOODING OF SMALL
CREEKS AND STREAMS...HIGHWAYS AND UNDERPASSES. ADDITIONALLY...COUNTRY
ROADS AND FARMLANDS ALONG THE BANKS OF CREEKS...STREAMS AND OTHER LOW
LYING AREAS ARE SUBJECT TO FLOODING.
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.
