Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood deaths occur in vehicles. Do not attempt to bypass a barricade or other road closure sign. The water in these areas is too deep for your car to pass safely. Choosing to drive into a flooded road puts your life in danger! Be especially aware of flooded roads at night. It is impossible to tell the depth of flood waters at night. If you encounter a flooded road, do not attempt to cross. Turn around! Don't drown! && LAT...LON 3048 8408 3048 8404 3047 8404 3046 8404 3044 8407 3043 8407 3042 8407 3041 8408 3042 8411 3042 8414 3042 8418 3048 8418 3049 8416 3048 8415 $$ Godsey
