FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT THROUGH MON AFTERNOON - terracore - 11-17-2019 I guess this has to do with the lightning and thunder we had last night? The 1.7" of rain was nice to fill up the catchment tank. Got over 2500 gallons. FLASH FLOOD WATCH ISSUED: 3:07 AM NOV. 17, 2019 – NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ...FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT THROUGH MONDAY AFTERNOON...

A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions are favorable for flash flooding. Flash flooding is LIFE THREATENING. Do not cross fast flowing water in your vehicle or on foot. Monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action if a Flash Flood Warning is issued.
