…THE FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 630 AM CDT FOR
CRAWFORD COUNTY…
At 258 AM CDT, Doppler radar indicated thunderstorms producing heavy rain across the warned area. Four to over five inches of rain have fallen. Flash flooding is expected to begin shortly.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS…
Turn around, don`t drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood deaths occur in vehicles. Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the dangers of flooding. Excessive runoff from heavy rainfall will cause flooding of small
creeks and streams, country roads, farmland, and other low lying spots.
Persons traveling in and around Atlantic early this morning should be on the lookout for downed tree limbs and debris on the streets. KJAN News Director Ric Hanson observed several streets where tree limbs had fallen across the road and inhibited travel except for higher profile vehicles. There was also a large amount of snapped twigs and smaller branches covering the roads as of 3:15-a.m., along with some pieces of trash.
The debris was made even more difficult to see, because a large part of town was without power and street lights were dark. Be careful if you most travel early this morning!
