Not listed with those but another very important tip, especially with these storms is to Turn Around, Don’t Drown. If the road you’re driving on is not visible due to water, it’s best to turn around and find an alternate route as usually it’s very difficult to tell how deep the water is on the road, especially in valleys, at the bottom of hills, and in dips. Plus, water may be running over the road and the car could get stuck in a current, pushing the vehicle around.

Once the storms pass us though we’ll be a bit chilly. our lows are going to be in the mid 40s overnight and the rain will continue to fall cooling us even more.
