THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN NEW ORLEANS HAS ISSUED A

* FLOOD ADVISORY FOR MINOR FLOODING OF POOR DRAINAGE AREAS IN...
  ST. BERNARD PARISH IN SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA...

* UNTIL 945 PM CDT

* AT 743 PM CDT...A CLUSTER OF THUNDERSTORMS...MAINLY BETWEEN VIOLET 
  AND YSCLOSKEY...WAS NEARLY STATIONARY. THIS CLUSTER HAS ALREADY    
  PRODUCED 2 TO 3 INCHES ACCORDING TO RADAR. NUISANCE STREET         
  FLOODING IS EXPECTED ALONG SECONDARY ROADS NEAR HIGHWAY            
  624 ...HIGHWAY 46 AND HIGHWAY 300.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

ADDITIONAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS UP TO 2 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE IN THE 
ADVISORY AREA.

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.

DO NOT DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE
ROADWAY. THE WATER DEPTH MAY BE TOO GREAT TO ALLOW YOUR CAR TO CROSS
SAFELY. MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND.

A FLOOD ADVISORY MEANS RIVER OR STREAM FLOWS ARE ELEVATED OR PONDING
OF WATER IN URBAN OR OTHER AREAS IS OCCURRING OR IS IMMINENT.
