AT 110 PM EDT...WEATHER SPOTTERS FROM WESTERN MADISON COUNTY 
REPORTED THAT MANY STREETS WERE FLOODING IN THE TOWN OF GREENVILLE 
IN WESTERN MADISON COUNTY. A FEW YARDS ARE FLOODING AS WELL WITH 
WAIST DEEP WATER IN THEM. A POND ALONG HIGHWAY 90 IN GREENVILLE IS 
NEARLY OUT OF ITS BANKS. IF THIS POND OVERFLOWS ITS BANKS...THE 
DOWNTOWN PORTION OF GREENVILLE...INCLUDING MANY BUILDINGS...WILL 
FLOOD. TAKE PROTECTIVE ACTION IMMEDIATELY IF YOU ARE IN THE TOWN OF 
GREENVILLE. MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND NOW! 

HEAVY RAINFALL WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE ENTIRE WARNING AREA. IF YOU

SITUATION. 

ADDITIONAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 3 TO 5 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE OVER THE

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!
