Indiana Flood Conditions Continue to Create Roadway Hazards
As of this morning, the National Weather Service has listed 24 Indiana counties under a flood warning and Daviess county remains under a flash flood warning. Click here to view the National Weather Service's county-by-county warnings and advisories for the flood conditions in Indiana.
With forecasters calling for additional heavy rain throughout the rest of the week, it is important to remember that flood conditions and flash flood situations can create driving hazards, leading to serious injury or death. Flooded roadways are extremely dangerous to drive through and, if at all possible, need to be avoided. The conventional wisdom surrounding motor vehicles and flood conditions is that it only takes a foot of water to float a vehicle, six inches of water may reach the bottom of your vehicle causing operating problems and hydroplaning, and two feet of rushing water can cause your vehicle to be swept off of the roadway in the direction of the current.
Please be careful traveling on the roadways, as we continue to battle these flood conditions.
