🌊👀 It is impossible to know how deep the water is just by looking at it. ⚠️🚧 Never Drive or Walk into Flood Waters - Turn Around Don’t Drown! #FloodSafety #HUNwx #ALwx

#ALwx ☔🌧️#FloodSafety Tip: Be extra careful driving at night as it is difficult to see water standing or flowing over the road in the dark. The road may be washed out under the water! 🕳

#ALwx 🙅‍♂️ Play in the pool, NOT floodwaters!
You never know what’s hidden or floating in the floodwaters - debris🛢, gators🐊, snakes🐍, and/or floating fire ants🐜
🦠🧫 Floodwaters can contain chemicals or objects that could harm you or make you sick. #FloodSafety

#ALwx 🚗 Even a small amount of floodwater can hide dangers such as road collapse and debris. 🕳
🚫 Do NOT drive into flooded roadways or around a barricade.
🚧 Turn around and find an alternate route! #FloodSafety

#ALwx #FloodSafety Tip: Do not go into a room where water covers the electrical outlets or where cords are submerged 🔌

#ALwx 👉#FloodSafety Tip: We REALLY hope folks in the Pensacola area don't need this tip tonight, but if you need to escape rising flood waters in your home *DO NOT get trapped in your attic*. Get on the roof and call 911.

#ALwx #FloodSafety Tip: 12 inches of water can float a car or small SUV and 18 inches of water can carry away large vehicles! 🚗

🚧 TURN AROUND, DONT' DROWN!!

#ALwx 🚫 #FloodSafety Reminder - PLEASE do NOT drive into flooded roadways or around a barricade!
🚧 Turn Around, Don’t Drown!

In addition to the severe hazards that are expected today....locally heavy rainfall and flash flooding will also be a growing concern💧#FloodSafety

#ALwx ☔️ Heads up southeast Baldwin (AL) and southwest Escambia (FL) counties! Ongoing storms are likely producing minor flooding, with an additional 1-2 inches of rainfall possible. 🚧🚗 Turn Around, Don't Drown if you encounter flooded roads! #mobwx #FloodSafety

📌#HurricanePrep

#ALwx 🗃️ #HurricanePrep Tip - Flood waters will damage important documents & papers.  Store any critical documents in a waterproof container or electronically.

📌 #HurricaneStrong #FloodSafety

#ALwx 💦💧 #HurricanePrep Tip: Clear clogged rain gutters and downspouts. This helps with the flow of water during heavy rain in a hurricane.

🚪 Secure all windows, doors & loose outdoor items including items on your roof & in the bed of the truck.

#ALwx 🎲 #FloodSafety Reminder: The term 500-year flood doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s only going to happen one time every 500 years. Rather, it’s a reference to the probability of occurrence. piped.video/watch?v=eQFyaXDH…

📌 #HurricanePrep

#ALwx 💦 Along with the severe threat will be the potential for localized flooding from heavy rain Thursday afternoon through the evening hours, especially in low-lying and urban areas. 🚧🚗 Do not attempt to cross flooded roads - Turn Around, Don't Drown! #FloodSafety
