MAY LOSE CONTACT WITH THE ROAD SURFACE. IF YOU STRAY INTO A WATER
FILLED DITCH OR HIT A SUBMERGED OBSTRUCTION YOUR CAR WILL BE
DISABLED...OR EVEN WORSE YOU MAY BECOME TRAPPED WITHIN A SUBMERGED
VEHICLE.
IF YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE ON THE ROADS THIS AFTERNOON PLEASE STAY IN
A SHELTERED LOCATION. DRIVING HAS BECOME VERY HAZARDOUS AROUND MUCH
OF SOUTH BREVARD COUNTY !!
ADDITIONAL RAINFALL ACCUMULATIONS OF THREE TO SIX INCHES WILL BE
POSSIBLE ACROSS SOUTHERN BREVARD COUNTY BEFORE FAY FINALLY DRAWS
AWAY FROM THE SPACE COAST TONIGHT.
THIS EPIC RAINFALL OCCURRENCE WILL LEAD TO THE LIKELIHOOD OF WATER
ENTERING HOMES AND BUSINESSES. ROAD DETOURS AND CLOSURES ARE
OCCURRING AROUND MELBOURNE...PALM BAY...EAU GALLIE...VIERA AND
SUNTREE.
HEED THE WORD OF LOCAL AUTHORITIES IF YOU ARE TOLD TO EVACUATE.
FLOOD WATERS ARE USUALLY DEEPER THAN THEY APPEAR. JUST ONE FOOT OF
FLOWING WATER IS POWERFUL ENOUGH TO SWEEP VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD.
