***WEATHER ADVISORY*** Due to the heavy rains being experienced in the Philadelphia Region, residents are urged to stay indoors throughout the storm. Those traveling by vehicle should exercise extreme caution when coming upon road flooding which may be accompanied by swift water. Persons trapped in their vehicle by swift water are advised to contact 911 and remain in their vehicle until help arrives. Those persons on foot are also advised to avoid standing/moving water thereby avoiding unseen hazards below the water surface. Furthermore, parents are reminded of the dangerous conditions involving the various creeks and streams throughout the city such as the Wissahickon and Pennypack. These waterways become treacherous during and after storms with large amounts of rainfall. Flash flooding may occur which has led to several deaths each year. Persons of all ages should stay away from these areas until conditions improve and warnings have been lifted.
