Meteorologist Adam Joseph reminds drivers not to travel through water on roadways

The threat of flash flooding means water can build up quickly, leaving drivers with little time to react.

Drivers are reminded of the dangers of driving through flooded roadways.

Meteorologist Adam Joseph says just six inches of water can be enough to cause a car to stall, stranding drivers in the middle of flood waters.

Twelve inches of fast-moving water can carry a small car away, Joseph said.

More than a foot of fast-moving water can carry away most large SUVs.

So, if you are ever in doubt, remember the saying, "turn around, don't drown."
