Bonita Springs City officials are urging residents to remain vigilant as the Imperial River continues to rise. Laminar flow can cause internal flooding of rivers and canals. Residents of flood-prone areas near rivers and canals should take precautions.
Reminder:
- Do not walk through running water. Most drownings occur during flash floods.
- Remember that as little as six inches of moving water can knock you over. Two feet of water can wash away vehicles.
- Please stay away from broken wires as they can cause standing water to become electrically charged.
- Stay away from flood waters that can make you sick.
- Remember the phrase “Turn around, don’t drown!” Do not drive on flooded roads. Cars can be swept away in just two feet of moving water. …
- Do not drive around road barriers.
