For Action News, something that happened 12 hours ago is “breaking news”.
Just dam...
It wasn’t 12 hours ago.
Statement as of 3:10 PM MDT on August 17, 2008
The National Weather Service in Flagstaff has issued a
* Flash Flood Warning for...
central Coconino County in north central Arizona...
* until 715 PM MST
* at 306 PM MST... National Weather Service Doppler radar indicated
flash flooding from a thunderstorm over the warned area.
Flood waters are likely moving down Red Lake wash... Monument
Wash... as well as upper portions of Cataract Creek. This warning
is in addition to a Flash Flood Warning already in effect for lower
portions of Cataract Creek and the Supai area.
Most flood deaths occur in automobiles. Never drive your vehicle into
areas where the water covers the roadway. Flood waters are usually
deeper than they appear. Just one foot of flowing water is powerful
enough to sweep vehicles off the Road. When encountering flooded
roads make the smart choice... turn around... dont drown.
Flooding is occurring or is imminent. It is important to know where
you are relative to streams... rivers... or creeks which can become
killers in heavy rains. Campers and hikers should avoid streams or
creeks.
