WITH RAIN IN THE FORECAST FOR THE TRI-CITY AREA TODAY AND TOMORROW, LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENTS ARE REMINDING EVERYONE TO BE PREPARED FOR POSSIBLE FLOODING. STAYED TUNED TO RADIO AND SOCIAL MEDIA FOR ANY WEATHER UPDATES. IF YOU ARE DRIVING WHEN HEAVY RAIN HITS, AVOID LOW WATER CROSSINGS, ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE BLOCKED OFF. IF YOU DRIVE AROUND A BARRICADE AND GET STUCK IN FLOOD WATERS, YOU COULD BE FORCED TO PAY FOR THE COST OF YOUR OWN RESCUE UNDER THE STUPID MOTORIST LAW. 

IF FLOOD WATERS ARE APPROACHING YOUR HOME, GET TO HIGHER GROUND IMMEDIATELY. YOU CAN PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY FROM FLOODING WITH FREE SANDBAGS FROM YOUR LOCAL FIRE STATION, THOUGH YOU WILL HAVE TO FILL THEM YOURSELF.
