Flash Flood Watch Through Saturday

The National Weather Service has issued a flash flood watch in effect through Saturday across the KRMS listening area. With rain predicted nearly every day and rainfall totals of 2-5 inches falling on Thursday alone, officials are keeping an eye out for flooding roadways and low water crossings. On Thursday afternoon residents reported flooding on W-12 as well as several low water crossings in the community including the Swinging Bridges area. If you find yourself at an area where water covers the roadway, turn around and find an alternate route. Never attempt to cross areas where water covers the roadway. Fast moving waters can cause your vehicle to stall and become stranded ending up in a life or death situation.
