Precautionary actions
If travel is required, allow extra time as some roads may be closed. Do not drive around barricades or through water of unknown depth. Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property.
Visit water.weather.gov for additional water level and flood impact information.
Inexperienced swimmers should remain out of the water due to dangerous surf conditions.
