Heavy Rainfall Causes Flash Flooding Across the Parkland

Park Hills, Mo. (KFMO) - The Parkland is experiencing significant flash flooding due to heavy rainfall, with reports of 4 to 7 inches falling by 10 a.m. Monday morning. This unrelenting downpour has caused water levels to rise in low-lying areas, leading to the flooding of multiple roadways and prompting officials to close roads across the region.

Authorities are asking residents to remain vigilant, especially in areas prone to flooding. Drivers should avoid attempting to cross any flooded roads, as water levels may be deceptively deep and dangerous. Here are some key safety tips to keep in mind:

• Turn Around, Don’t Drown: Even a foot of moving water can sweep away vehicles.
• Avoid Walking or Driving in Floodwater: Floodwater can contain debris, pollutants, and other hazards.
• Stay Informed: Follow local weather alerts and check for road closures.
