It's Day 3 for Monsoon Awareness Week, and today's topic is Flash Flooding. Turn Around, Don't Drown! 6 inches of water can knock you down.

12 inches can sweep away a small car. Flash floods strike fast, especially near burn scars. Never drive through flooded roads!

It's also important to know the difference between a Flash Flood WATCH and A Flash Flood WARNING.

A Watch is a sign to be PREPARED when flooding can occur. And a Warning is to TAKE ACTION because flooding is occurring.
