  COMBINED WITH A VERY UNSTABLE AIRMASS WILL RESULT IN CONDITIONS
  FAVORING HEAVY RAINFALL AND LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING. 

* MOST FLOOD DEATHS OCCUR IN AUTOMOBILES. NEVER DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE
  INTO AREAS WHERE WATER COVERS THE ROADWAY. FLOOD WATERS ARE
  USUALLY DEEPER THAN THEY APPEAR. JUST ONE FOOT OF FLOWING WATER
  IS POWERFUL ENOUGH TO SWEEP MANY VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD. WHEN
  ENCOUNTERING A FLOODED ROAD MAKE THE SMART CHOICE AND "TURN
  AROUND...DONT DROWN."

A FLASH FLOOD WATCH MEANS THAT CONDITIONS MAY DEVELOP THAT LEAD
TO FLASH FLOODING. FLASH FLOODING IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION
AND PERSONS IN THE WATCH AREA SHOULD BE ALERT TO THE POTENTIAL FOR
HEAVY RAINFALL AND BE PREPARED TO TAKE QUICK ACTION AND MOVE TO
HIGHER GROUND.
