What the agency told people to do
Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood deaths occur in vehicles. Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the dangers of flooding. To escape rising water, take the shortest path to higher ground. Additional information is available at www.weather.gov. The next statement will be issued this morning at 1100 AM CDT.
