SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT FOX ROOM FORECASTERS:

AN UPDATE ON THE EVENT THIS WEEKEND 3/4-3/5 AT THIS TIME IT APPEARS THAT THE BIGGEST THREAT WITH THIS SYSTEM APPEARS TO BE SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL. SOME FOLKS COULD SEE MORE THAN 2 INCHES OF RAIN IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. WE HAVE HADE SOME RECENT RAIN, BUT IN SPOTS THE GROUND IS STILL A BIT HARD, SO THIS WILL CAUSE MAJOR RUNOFF. IF YOU LIVE IN A FLOOD PRONE AREA, NOW IS THE TIME TO THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU CAN DO, IN THE EVENT OF A FLOOD. WE ARE NOT SAYING THERE WILL BE NO STORMS, AND SOME COULD BECOME SEVERE, BUT ONCE AGAIN THE BIGGEST THREAT WITH THIS SYSTEM APPEARS TO BE RAIN! STAY TUNED TO FRF, AND FOX8 FOR FURTHER UPDATES

****REMEMBER: TURN AROUND, DONT DROWN!!!!!!!!!**************

EXCEPT FOR HEAT RELATED FATALITIES, MORE PEOPLE DIE IN FLOODS THAN ANY OTHER WEATHER RELATED EVENT!!!

THINK OF THIS 6 INCHES OF FAST MOVING WATER WILL KNOCK A GROWN MAN TO HIS FEET,
