    You all know where the areas prone to flooding are in the County so cautious approach to those areas is warranted. The one item that is not addressed by the NWS deals with falling trees. Our ground is fairly saturated and if we get a large amount of rain in the next twenty-four hours followed by high winds that might accompany a thunderstorm then conditions are right for trees to begin falling and blocking roads, across power lines or onto structures.
