We have had a lot of rain move through this morning and some of the streets are experiencing flooding. Be sure to use caution and take it slow. If a road is blocked off, do not go around the barriers. Find another route. Stay safe.

Remember turn around, don’t drown!

Afternoons with Advertising

Stay weather aware and, whenever possible, shop local!
