It looks like we'll see some significant rainfall amounts from TS Debbie. Forecasts this morning are predicting 6-10 inches of rainfall that will start arriving later this evening as the outer bands of the storm reach our area. We want to take this time to remind everyone: *Turn around, don't drown- stay away from flood waters both on foot and while driving. Flowing rivers and streams may look safe to cross but it takes only inches of water to float a vehicle. *Plan for potential power outages- heavy rains and wind will likely topple a few trees which could result in downed power lines. *Expect flooded roads and ponding water- reduce your travel speed and expect hydroplaning to occur both from your vehicle and those around you. *Low lying areas will likely flood- if your home is near a low lying area, prepare now for how you will keep the water out and more importantly, where you can go should flooding of your home become and issue.
