   Yes, and that's a good thing. Flooding is one of our major weather 
concerns here. We're so far inland the Hurricanes can't do much wind damage 
but the heavy rains wreck havoc on us here in the Appalachian Mountians. The
mountains are so steep the rainfall runs off very fast and severe flooding 
results. The danger to driving on a flooded road way here is that the road is 
often just adjacent to a flooded stream and the high water usually undercuts 
and washes out the road. With the road under water you have no way of knowing 
this and when you enter thinking the roads is only under a little water you 
go into the washed out area and then into the flooded stream. This is a very 
valid safety note you make.

   I'll let ya know what I end up with..
