...The Flood Warning continues for the following rivers in 

Washington...

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

dangers of flooding.



Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood 

deaths occur in vehicles.



Even 6 inches of fast-moving flood water can knock you off your feet 

and a depth of 2 feet will float your car. Never try to walk, swim, 

or drive through such swift water. If you come upon flood waters, 

stop, turn around and go another way.



To escape rising water, take the shortest path to higher ground.



Caution is urged when walking near riverbanks.



Motorists should not attempt to drive around barricades or drive 

cars through flooded areas.

The next statement will be issued by this afternoon at 200 PM PST.
