“We plead with our motorists to exercise caution while driving, extend the following distance, avoid crossing flooded roads and low-lying bridges. Residents are also cautioned to avoid crossing low-lying bridges and river streams. Also, monitor children to stay away from river streams and also drainage channels.”
