Leighty said that although these are approximations, they will give residents a rough estimate as to when the water will crest the road. There will also be several state roads that will be closed, but information as to when is not available at this time.

“We will be putting out as many signs as possible to alert drivers of the hazards, but if anyone approaches high water, please do not drive through it, as we would not want these flood situations to become fatal,” Leighty said. “Once the water has gone down, we will be assessing the damages and applying for disaster relief.”

He also added that if you are in an area that will be blocked in, do not hesitate to get supplies or make arrangements, as these times are a guideline and there are possibilities that your road may flood faster than predicted.
