THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN RUSKIN HAS ISSUED A
* FLOOD WARNING FOR URBAN AREAS AND SMALL STREAMS IN...
LEE COUNTY IN SOUTHWEST FLORIDA...
THIS INCLUDES THE CITIES OF...LEHIGH ACRES...FORT MYERS...CAPE
CORAL...NORTH FORT MYERS...BONITA SPRINGS...
* UNTIL 700 PM EDT SUNDAY
* AT 700 PM EDT...EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT OFFICIALS REPORTED SIGNIFICANT
SHEET FLOW ACROSS MUCH OF THE COUNTY WITH NUMEROUS ROADS FLOODED.
SEVERAL HOMES HAVE BEEN FLOODED IN BAYSHORE...BONITA SPRINGS...
ALVA AND LEHIGH ACRES. ALSO MANY OF THE SMALLER STREAMS AND RIVERS
ARE ABOVE BANKFULL.
SHEET FLOW IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS WHICH COULD
CAUSE FLOODING OF MORE HOMES AND BUSINESSES.
A FLOOD WARNING MEANS THAT FLOODING IS IMMINENT OR HAS BEEN REPORTED.
EXCESSIVE RUNOFF FROM THE RAINS OF THE PAST FEW DAYS WILL CONTINUE
TO CAUSE FLOODING OF LOW LYING AND POOR DRAINAGE AREAS. WATER MAY
ENTER HOMES AND OTHER STRUCTURES IN FLOOD PRONE AREAS. RESIDENTS IN
OR NEAR THESE AREAS SHOULD TAKE NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS IMMEDIATELY
AND MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND IF POSSIBLE.
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...DON`T DROWN.
