Turn around, don't drown.

That's what Keller Fire-Rescue and the Texas Division of Emergency Management want you to remember when driving this week.

With all the heavy rainfall, some city streets and highways are flooded. Just six inches of water can cause a car to lose traction and slide, according to a press release from Keller Fire-Rescue. Other facts include:

• Twelve inches of water can float many cars. Two feet of rushing water will carry off pickup trucks, SUVs and most other vehicles.
• Water across a road may hide a missing segment of roadbed or a missing bridge.
• In flash floods, waters rise so rapidly they may be far deeper by the time you are halfway across, trapping you in your vehicle.
• Flash floods are especially treacherous at night when it is very difficult to see how deep waters may be or how fast water is rising.
• Floodwater weakens roadbeds. Drivers should proceed cautiously after waters have receded, since the road may collapse under the weight of the vehicle.

The rain is expected to continue throughout Wednesday and Thursday. Remember to travel safely and avoid water-covered roadways.
