Just 6 inches of water can cause a vehicle to lose control or stall. A foot of moving water can carry away a car, and 18–24 inches can move trucks and SUVs. The road beneath that water may already be washed out.
Here’s your warning, Waco…‼️
It’s going to rain. A lot. The National Weather Service has issued a FLOOD WATCH through Friday morning.
If the rainfall from June taught us anything it’s to take the flood watch seriously. We’ve seen the first movie and we all know the sequel is never as good.
Stay home, stay safe, and if you must be on the road, please drive slow.
🌧️ TURN AROUND DON’T DROWN: Do not attempted to drive through flooded roadways and never drive around barricades or road-closure signs.
☎️ 911 IS FOR EMERGENCIES ONLY: Please keep our 911 lines clear for emergencies only. Power outages, trees, or other debris in the roadway are not emergencies, and you may call 254-750-7500 to report non-life threatening incidents.
