* at 324 pm edt...a ham radio operator reported flash flooding from 
a thunderstorm near newport moving northeast at 15 mph.  water is 
reported moving into first national bank in newport 
 
excessive runoff from heavy rainfall will cause flooding of small 
creeks...streams...urban areas...highways...streets and underpasses. 
low lying places that normally flood could become death traps. if you 
come to a flooded or closed road...turn around! don't drown! this is 
a life threatening situation. 
 
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!
