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.

Potentially Dangerous In Heavy Rain. Do Not Attempt To Travel Across
Flooded Roads. Find Alternate Routes. It Takes Only A Few Inches Of
Swiftly Flowing Water To Carry Vehicles Away.
