What are you seeing out on the roads of Haverford Township?

Once the flood warning expires, there will be a flood watch in effect until 4 p.m. Fox's Sue Serio said this morning that the worst of the rains should be out of the area by 1 p.m.

According to the National Weather Service, a  flash flood warning means "THAT FLOODING IS IMMINENT OR OCCURRING. IF YOU ARE IN THE WARNING AREA MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND IMMEDIATELY. RESIDENTS LIVING ALONG STREAMS AND CREEKS SHOULD TAKE IMMEDIATE PRECAUTIONS TO PROTECT LIFE AND PROPERTY. NEVER ATTEMPT TO CROSS SWIFTLY FLOWING WATERS OR WATERS OF UNKNOWN DEPTH BY FOOT OR IN AN AUTOMOBILE. TURN AROUND DON`T DROWN!"

PennDOT Spokesman Gene Blaum, appearing live on CBS3 Eyewitness News Tuesday morning warned motorists not to drive through standing water. "Your tires can easily lose contact with the road surface," Blaum warned.
