* AT 600 PM PST THE SAN FRANCISQUITO CREEK STREAM GAGE WAS REPORTING 
  THAT THE CREEK WAS NEARLY ONE AND A HALF FEET ABOVE FLOOD STAGE.   
  OTHER SMALL CREEKS AND STREAMS IN SAN MATEO AND SANTA CLARA        
  COUNTY WERE REPORTED AT BANKFUL. IN ADDITION...THERE WERE SEVERAL  
  REPORTS OF URBAN FLOODING IN CUPERTINO AND SARATOGA. DOPPLER       
  RADAR INDICATES THAT MOST RAINFALL HAS MOVED OFF TO THE EAST AND   
  SOUTH OF THE AREA. HOWEVER...SMALL STREAMS AND CREEKS WILL TAKE    
  TIME TO SUBSIDE AND MINOR URBAN AND SMALL STREAM FLOODING IS       
  EXPECTED TO CONTINUE FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT HOUR.
EXCESS RUNOFF FROM HEAVY RAINFALL IS EXPECTED TO CAUSE PONDING OF
WATER IN URBAN AREAS...HIGHWAYS...STREETS AND UNDERPASSES AS WELL AS
OTHER POOR DRAINAGE AREAS AND LOW LYING SPOTS. ALSO...SMALL CREEKS 
AND STREAMS WILL BE AT BANKFUL OR SLIGHTLY OUT OF THEIR 
BANKS...POSSIBLY COVERING ROADS AND NEARBY LOW AREAS.
ALLOW EXTRA TIME TO GET TO YOUR DESTINATION. IF WATER COVERS THE
ROADWAY DO NOT CROSS IT. FLOOD WATERS ARE USUALLY DEEPER THAN THEY
APPEAR AND THE WATER MAY BE TOO DEEP TO ALLOW YOUR VEHICLE TO CROSS
SAFELY.
A FLOOD ADVISORY MEANS THAT ALTHOUGH STREAMS AND CREEKS MAY BE
ELEVATED OR EVEN RISE OUT OF THEIR BANKS...PROPERTY DAMAGE SHOULD BE
MINIMAL. INCONVENIENCES CAN BE EXPECTED BUT THE FLOODING WILL NOT BE
IMMEDIATELY LIFE THREATENING.
TO REPORT FLOODING...HAVE THE NEAREST LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY RELAY
YOUR REPORT TO THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORECAST OFFICE.
