Motorists are reminded to heed all warning signs, and never drive through high water. It only takes a few inches of water to float a car. And, roadways could be damaged under floodwaters.
In addition, use caution as crews are out cleaning debris and ditchlines. Water could be ponding on travel lanes where debris has caused ditches to overflow.
