Flooding & Flash Flood National Flood Safety Awareness week at FloodSmart.Gov (March 15-22, 2009) has just passed but it looks like we need to be aware for a little while longer.
Turn Around, Don't drown!
Floods & Flash Flooding - On the surface the river of water may look calm but the power lies beneath the surface.
If you are ever swept into the water (may that never happen) look for something to grab on to or float with, look for a way out! Remember it ain't over until the water buffalo sings.
Trapped in a car? Look for away out. Ships float, Cars don't!
