Flood Advisory
September 20, 2009
The National Weather Service in Mobile has issued a
* Flood Advisory for…
central Escambia County in northwest Florida…
east central Baldwin County in southwest Alabama…
* until 415 PM CDT
* at 222 PM CDT… National Weather Service meteorologists found an
area of heavy rain northern Baldwin County Alabama and Escambia
County Florida. Rainfall rates of 3 to 4 inches of rain per hour has
fallen in the last 30 minutes betweeen Spanish Fort Alabama and Bay
Springs Florida.
Precautionary/preparedness actions…
Most flood deaths occur in automobiles. In hilly terrain there are
many low water crossings which are dangerous in heavy rain. Do not
attempt to travel across flooded roads. Never drive your vehicle
into areas where the water covers the roadway. Find alternate
routes. Flood waters are usually deeper than they appear. Just a few
inches of flowing water is powerful enough to sweep vehicles off the
Road. When encountering flooded roads make the smart choice… turn
around… dont drown.
