Instruction:
Arroyos, streams, and normally dry rivers can become raging killer
currents in a matter of minutes. Water in arroyos can travel many
miles and take hours to reach your location from upstream rain areas.
The heavy rainfall and slow movement of these storms will result in
flooding of road intersections, low lying areas and normally dry
arroyos.
