Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood 
deaths occur in vehicles.

Water levels can rise and fall quickly in the vicinity of ice jams. 
Those with interests along rivers and tributary streams should be 
alert for rapidly fluctuating water levels in the vicinity of ice 
jams. Never drive through flooded roads or around closed road 
barricades. The barricades are there for your safety due to the 
potential for ice jam releases or continued flooding.
