PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the 
dangers of flooding.

Rainfall of more than five inches in similar storms has been 
associated with an increased risk of landslides and rockslides. If 
you live on a mountainside or in a cove at the base of a mountain, 
especially near a stream, be ready to leave in advance of the storm 
or as quickly as possible should rising water, moving earth, or 
rocks threaten. Consider postponing travel along mountain roads 
during periods of heavy rainfall.

When it is safe to do so, please send your reports of flooding, 
including mudslides or flooded roads, to the National Weather 
Service by calling toll free at 1...8 6 6...2 1 5...4 3 2 4. Reports 
and pictures can also be shared on the National Weather Service 
Blacksburg Facebook page and on Twitter.
