If you come across a flooded, road turn around, don’t drown. Flood warnings are continuing across the KCII listening area. Washington County Emergency Management Coordinator Marissa Reisen advises people to be safe, “Definitely don’t go into the water. If it’s standing water it only takes about two feet of water to float your car, and if there’s a current with that water as little as six inches can move your vehicle. And if you’re walking through it and it has a current it doesn’t take that much to knock you down and sweep you away.”
The National Weather Service has flood warnings in effect for:
The North Skunk River near Sigourney until Monday, major flooding is occurring.
The Cedar River near Conesville until further notice, moderate flooding is forecast.
The Iowa River at Oakville until further notice, moderate flooding is forecast.
The Iowa River near Lone Tree until Sunday evening, moderate flooding is occurring.
– The English River at Kalona through Saturday, major flooding is occurring.
