Yesterday, Precinct 8 Deputy Jenkins rescued stranded motorists after they attempted to drive through a flooded roadway in the 500 block of Red Bluff Rd. Deputy Jenkins was able to pull the driver of the black sedan to safety moments before the rising floodwaters reached the windows.
Please pay attention to the weather in the coming days as storms are predicted for our area. Remember that your safety comes first.
❗️Never drive through flooded roads. Just 12 inches of water can carry away most cars.
❗️Avoid walking through floodwaters. It only takes 6 inches of fast-moving water to knock over an adult.
❗️Find alternative routes. Even if it delays you, it’s not worth the risk.
