Please be careful this morning; Texarkana Texas Police Department has updated us with the many flooding areas. We want you to get to where you are going safely. If the water looks deep, turn around, you could cause significant damage to your care or, even worse, drown. According to NOAA Texarkana has received almost 4 inches of rain in a little over 2 hours last night.

Also, all the rain we got overnight has caused some significant flooding issues on some roads. It’s primarily the ones where we usually have problems after a lot of rain, such as W. 7th Street at the KCS Railroad underpass, 40th and Potomac, Summerhill at Galleria Oaks, etc. Several of these places now are barricaded to keep people from trying to drive through, but you might come across one with standing water that isn’t. If you do, please turn around and find another way to get to wherever you’re going. It might take you a couple of minutes longer to get there, but that’s better than finding yourself in a dangerous situation or messing up your vehicle.
