TV 9 Meteorologist Kaj O’Mara offers some helpful reminders for us and our children as we see flooding in our communities.

-Never drive through a flooded road. The depth and current can be deceiving. It’s also possible the road is washed out.

-Don’t let kids play in floodwaters. The depth and current could wash them away. They could also get hurt on hidden objects under the water.

-Keep up to date on the latest forecast as additional rain could cause flood levels to worsen.
