With severe weather forecast for later this week, we want to remind everyone to be mindful of the dangers associated with flooding.

Heavy rainfall can quickly overwhelm roadways, low-lying areas, and drainage systems. Flash flooding can occur with little warning, and flooded roads are often deeper and more dangerous than they appear.

Never drive through flooded roadways — Turn Around, Don’t Drown.

Stay weather aware, monitor trusted forecasts, and have a plan in place.

I've been told that this morning, there was a man named Jesse who was cold and looking for help. He was on trading time. Would anyone possibly know this gentleman or have his phone number. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

UPDATE: We have located Mr. Jesse. Thank you for all your help.
