TS Barry is about 50 miles south of making landfall. The next two days will see the storm deliver significant amounts of rain in our area. This will cause roads to flood and will cause flash flooding to occur.

Do not cross a roadway that is covered with water. Turn around, don’t drown.

If you find yourself in a dangerous situation, call 911. They would rather come to help you or find you in a non-emergency than to try and recover your remains.
