STRIKING BACK - Part 6

Here's one last summer storm safety tip . . .

Steer clear - Torrential rain can wash out chunks of road, creating puddles that look shallow but run deep.  6 inches of water can stall a car engine, which increases the risk that another vehicle will hit yours and leaves you vulnerable in the event of a flash flood.  If you can't scoot around a large puddle, find another route or pull over in a non-flooded area until you verify that the road is passable.
