"Flooding of small creeks and streams, urban areas, highways, streets, and underpasses as well as other drainage and low-lying areas," says the weather service. "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."A flash flood warning is issued when a flash flood is either imminent or already occurring.
Enhance your visibility in heavy rain by turning on your headlights. Watch out for vehicles in blind spots, as rain-smeared windows can obscure them.Be extra careful during the first half hour after rain begins. Grime and oil on the road surface mix with water to make the road slippery.Large trucks and buses can reduce your visibility with tire spray. Avoid tailgating and pass them swiftly and safely.Overloaded wiper blades can hinder visibility.
By following these safety measures, you can significantly reduce risks and ensure your well-being when heavy rain pours down. Stay informed about weather conditions and heed advice from local authorities to make your journey safe and sound.
