Flood Advisory

1214 AM CDT MON MAY 28 2012

...THE URBAN AND SMALL STREAM FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL
230 PM CDT MONDAY FOR SOUTHERN AITKIN...SOUTHERN CASS AND CROW WING
COUNTIES...

AT 1210 AM CDT...RAIN CONTINUED ACROSS MUCH OF THE BRAINERD LAKES 
REGION. RAINFALL OF UP TO AN INCH HAD BEEN REPORTED AS OF MIDNIGHT. 
ANOTHER INCH OF NEW RAIN IS POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT ACROSS THIS AREA. 

THIS HEAVY RAIN IS ON TOP OF RECENT HEAVY RAINS THAT HAD BROUGHT UP 
TO 4 INCHES OF RAIN TO PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN CASS...MUCH OF CROW WING 
AND PORTIONS OF AITKIN COUNTIES. 

THE GROUND IS SATURATED FROM THE RECENT RAINFALL...AND ANY 
ADDITIONAL RAIN WILL BRING EFFICIENT RUNOFF AS OPPOSED TO SOAKING 
INTO THE GROUND. THIS COULD LEAD TO A PROLONGED PERIOD OF FLOODING 
ACROSS THE ADVISORY AREA. DRAINAGE DITCHES AND STREAMS WILL LIKELY 
RESPOND BY FILLING UP WITH INCREASED FLOW ON CREEKS...RIVERS AND 
STREAMS. 

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

MOST FLOOD DEATHS OCCUR IN AUTOMOBILES. NEVER DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO
AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE ROADWAY. FLOOD WATERS ARE USUALLY
DEEPER THAN THEY APPEAR. JUST ONE FOOT OF FLOWING WATER IS POWERFUL
ENOUGH TO SWEEP VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD. WHEN ENCOUNTERING FLOODED
ROADS MAKE THE SMART CHOICE...TURN AROUND...DONT DROWN.

TO REPORT FLOODING...HAVE THE NEAREST LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY RELAY
YOUR REPORT TO THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORECAST OFFICE.
