With the potential for heavy rains and flooding
today, I thought back to a Google Map I created this past January highlighting
incidents MCFRS responded too during flash flooding that occurred the evening
of the 30th through 9 AM on the 31st. Most of these calls for help were from
motorists who attempted to drive through the water on the road and did not make
it through.
These locations traditionally flood and our Fire and
Rescue personnel have made many rescues at these, and many other, locations
throughout the County as people ignore our repeated warnings and attempt to
drive through the water. I am posting
the map, and a link to a post I made late yesterday, in the hope that people
pay attention and avoid these areas if flooding does become an issue. Also take a moment to plan an alternate route
if some of these areas are ones you normally travel each day.
