Severe Weather Preparedness Week: How to stay safe when flooding hits

Flooding is one of the deadliest weather events in the U.S. The only thing deadlier is heat. That means more people die from floods each year than tornadoes, lightning, or hurricanes. Over the past 10 years, an average of 99 people have died in floods each year. Many deaths are a result of people driving through flooded roads. Remember, it only takes 18 inches of flowing water to carry away most vehicles, including SUVs. Six inches of moving water can sweep you off your feet. https://www.wcnc.com/article/weather/...
