THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN AMARILLO HAS ISSUED A

* FLOOD WARNING FOR...
  COLLINGSWORTH COUNTY IN THE PANHANDLE OF TEXAS...
  THIS INCLUDES THE CITY OF WELLINGTON...
  SOUTHERN DONLEY COUNTY IN THE PANHANDLE OF TEXAS...
  THIS INCLUDES THE CITY OF CLARENDON...

* UNTIL 1130 AM CDT TUESDAY

* AT 1133 PM CDT LAW ENFORCEMENT REPORTED THAT FLOODING WAS          
  CONTINUING AFTER ONE TO 5 INCHES OF RAIN HAD FALLEN FROM           
  THUNDERSTORMS THAT MOVED THROUGH THE AREA EARLIER. 

A FLOOD WARNING MEANS THAT FLOODING IS IMMINENT OR HAS BEEN REPORTED.
STREAM RISES WILL BE SLOW AND FLASH FLOODING IS NOT EXPECTED.
HOWEVER...ALL INTERESTED PARTIES SHOULD TAKE NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS
IMMEDIATELY.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

FLOODING AND BANKFULL CONDITIONS ARE OCCURRING ON SMALL STREAMS IN 
THE WARNED AREA INCLUDING LELIA LAKE CREEK NEAR HEDLEY.

MOST FLOOD DEATHS OCCUR IN AUTOMOBILES. NEVER DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO
AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE ROADWAY. FLOOD WATERS ARE USUALLY
DEEPER THAN THEY APPEAR. JUST ONE FOOT OF FLOWING WATER IS POWERFUL
ENOUGH TO SWEEP VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD. WHEN ENCOUNTERING FLOODED
ROADS MAKE THE SMART CHOICE...TURN AROUND...DONT DROWN.

BE ESPECIALLY CAUTIOUS AT NIGHT WHEN IT IS HARDER TO RECOGNIZE THE 
DANGERS OF FLOODING. IF FLOODING IS OBSERVED ACT QUICKLY. MOVE UP TO 
HIGHER GROUND TO ESCAPE FLOOD WATERS. DO NOT STAY IN AREAS SUBJECT TO
FLOODING WHEN WATER BEGINS RISING.

TO REPORT FLOODING...CONTACT THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OFFICE IN
AMARILLO AT 8 0 6 3 3 5 1 1 2 1.
