Instructions
Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood deaths occur in vehicles.

Flooding is occurring or is imminent. It is important to know where you are relative to streams, rivers, or creeks which can become killers in heavy rains. Campers and hikers should avoid streams or creeks.
