A decent splash of rain last night means that the flood-prone places are once again flooded. You know which ones I mean! We’re talking Elk River, we’re taking Freshwater, we’re talking Hookton.

Friends, please don’t try to drive through a river, that was as recently as yesterday a road! You might end up like the pickup above, claimed by the angry, muddy Elk. 

Say the good folks at the Sheriff’s Office:

This driver got stuck on a flooded roadway without cell phone service on Elk River Road earlier today. Thanks to a passerby calling 911, our Swift Water Rescue Technician got them safely to dry land. Remember: Turn around, don’t drown on flooded roadways!
