...THE SMALL STREAM FLOOD ADVISORY ISSUED EARLIER FOR TYLER COUNTY 
HAS BEEN UPGRADED TO A FLASH FLOOD WARNING...

NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RADAR ESTIMATES UP TO 2 INCHES OF RAIN HAS 
FALLEN OVER THE BASINS OF BIG RUN...MUDDY CREEK...HILLS RUN...AND 
MIDDLE ISLAND CREEK. THIS ACCUMULATED RAINFALL WILL MERGE OVER THE 
MIDDLE ISLAND CREEK BASIN NEAR MIDDLEBOURNE...AS IT TRAVERSES 
DOWNSTREAM.  

EXCESSIVE RUNOFF FROM HEAVY RAINFALL WILL CAUSE FLOODING OF SMALL 
CREEKS AND STREAMS...COUNTRY ROADS...AS WELL AS FARMLAND ALONG THE 
BANKS OF CREEKS AND STREAMS.

MOST FLOOD DEATHS OCCUR IN AUTOMOBILES. NEVER DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO
AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE ROADWAY. FLOOD WATERS ARE USUALLY
DEEPER THAN THEY APPEAR. JUST ONE FOOT OF FLOWING WATER IS POWERFUL
ENOUGH TO SWEEP VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD. WHEN ENCOUNTERING FLOODED
ROADS MAKE THE SMART CHOICE...TURN AROUND...DONT DROWN.

A FLASH FLOOD WARNING MEANS THAT FLOODING IS IMMINENT OR OCCURRING. 
IF YOU ARE IN THE WARNING AREA MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND IMMEDIATELY. 
RESIDENTS LIVING ALONG STREAMS AND CREEKS SHOULD TAKE IMMEDIATE 
PRECAUTIONS TO PROTECT LIFE AND PROPERTY.
