Urban and small stream flooding is happening in Johnson County, North Texas until 6:15 p.m. Remember: don't drive through flooded roads. Just 6 inches of moving water can knock you down. During heavy rain, flooding is likely, especially in low areas. **Explanation:** When it rains a lot, water can build up quickly, causing floods in towns and small rivers. This can be dangerous, especially in places that are already prone to flooding. **Additional context:** It's important to be careful when driving in the rain to avoid accidents and stay safe. **Driving Tips:** - Drive in the middle lanes and on high ground to stay safe on the road. - Avoid driving into puddles or low areas with water to prevent losing control of the vehicle. - Hydroplaning is when a vehicle slides on a thin layer of water on the road, making it hard to control. This can happen if you drive too fast in the rain. - Drive slower in wet weather to maintain control of the vehicle. - The deeper the water on the road, the easier it is to lose control of the vehicle. Most flood-related deaths happen in cars. **What to do:** - Never drive through flooded roads, no matter how deep they seem. - Avoid basements or rooms with water and electrical outlets. - If you must drive in the rain, stay away from puddles and drive slower to prevent accidents. - Ease off the gas pedal to slow down and regain control of the vehicle.
