Flooding
Flooding is generally the deadliest weather event that can occur. With hurricanes, the flooding can be extensive and can last for days or even weeks. The after effects of flooding, even if there is no loss of life, can be devastating.
Damage to homes
The damage to the home occurs during and after the flood waters are present in the home.

Danger of moving water
|
Moving water can create sink holes under roads and sweep vehicles off the road, or render them immobilized, trapping the driver and passengers in the flood. Rescue efforts put those conducting the rescues at risk. Obey safety warnings and stay safe. |
Turn Around, Don't Drown

It only takes 6 inches of fast moving water to wash a vehicle off of the road. |
