It is never safe to drive or walk into flood waters. When flood water is present, turn around, don’t drown! A mere 6 inches of fast-moving flood water can knock over an adult. Learn more at LeonReady.com. #LeonReady #HurricanePrep

#Flooded roads could have significant damage hidden by #floodwaters. NEVER walk or drive through floodwaters, on flooded roads, or over bridges. Remember, it only takes two feet of water to lift and float most automobiles, even trucks, and SUVs. #TurnAroundDontDrown
