The National Weather Service in Memphis, Tennessee, issued a safety reminder during flooding events, noting that water levels and flow rates can change rapidly.
Officials advise residents to move to higher ground and avoid walking or driving into floodwaters. It takes only 6 inches of moving water to knock a person off their feet, according to the agency.
Residents are encouraged to stay informed by monitoring local radio, television, and official weather updates at weather.gov/safety/flood, especially during active flood conditions.
