NEVER drive a vehicle through water! 1-2 ft of water can be enough to make a vehicle buoyant (even a heavy pickup!)

Don’t attempt to wade through water, and don’t allow children to play in water. 6 inches of water can knock an adult off their feet

Be extremely cautious of low water crossings, especially at night. They are the Ozarks #1 weather killer!
