Stay alert amid ongoing floods

Radar estimates suggest that Marshfield received between 5″ to 7″ of rainfall between Tuesday night and Wednesday afternoon. This heavy rain led to major flooding in parts of Webster, Greene, Wright, Pulaski, and Laclede counties. The heavy rain led to multiple water rescues in Webster County, and some roads have been washed out due to the floodwaters. That's what already happened, and looking ahead reveals more rain and flooding likely on both Friday morning and Saturday morning. The Ozarks are saturated and any additional rain will easily lead to flood problems. Here are some flood safety tips to keep in mind during this very wet pattern. Turn Around, Don't DrownWe've all heard this one, but did you know that half of all flood-related fatalities involve a vehicle? There have been 42 flood deaths in the U.S. through April 2025. 29 of those 42 involved a vehicle. 42 of 77 flood deaths in 2023 involved a vehicle. The ratio was skewed a bit in 2024 thanks to Hurricane Helene's impacts in Appalachia. A total of 181 flood fatalities were reported in 2024 with 66 of those involving a vehicle. Flowing water creates pressure on an object such as a vehicle. The greater the water depth or the greater the coverage of the flowing water on an object, the greater the force on the object. A road surface also becomes slippery when wet, causing a vehicle to lose traction more easily. It takes less than a foot of slow-moving water to sweep a vehicle off the road, let alone stall out the engine in standing water. 6 inches of fast-moving water will sweep away most vehicles, including heavier SUVs and trucks. It's a good idea to check the MoDOT Traveller Information Map when flooding is a risk to see where roads may be impacted by flooding. Know Where to Go Know where to go in the event of a flood in your area. Where is the higher ground? What route should I take to get there? Can I help my neighbors? It's important to understand your flood risk before flooding occurs. Consult FEMA's flood risk map How to Prepare Some good items to keep around to help you be prepared for flooding are sandbags, plywood, plastic sheeting, plastic trash bags, lumber, shovels, work boots, and gloves. It's also a good idea to contact your county emergency management agency to learn more about how to properly protect your home if you live in a flood-prone area.
