--Make sure you have enough gasoline in your car.

--Follow recommended routes.

--Watch for washed-out or undermined roadways, earth slides, broken
sewer or water mains, loose or downed electric wires, and falling or
fallen objects.

--Watch out for areas where rivers or streams may flood suddenly.

that the water will not be above your knees (or above the middle of your
