Instruction:
In hilly or mountainous terrain there are numerous low water
crossings which are potentially dangerous in heavy rain. Do not
attempt to cross flooded roads. Find an alternate route.
Arroyos, streams, and normally dry rivers can become raging killer

miles and take hours to reach your location from upstream rain areas.
