"Whether driving or walking, any time you come to a flooded road - TURN AROUND, DON'T DROWN! Never attempt to drive around barriers blocking a flooded road!" Horsham Township officials reminded residents via Facebook.

If you come to an area that is covered with water, you won't know the depth of the water or the condition of the ground under the water. According to the National Weather Service, even just one foot of water can move most cars off the road. Just six inches of fast-moving flood water can sweep a person off his or her feet.
