Glasgow, MT – Hey, Glasgow: There’s a flood advisory in effect today, and things are a little tricky out there. After several days of heavy rain, urban flooding has become a serious concern, especially in Glasgow and nearby areas. Streets are getting flooded, and water levels are rising, so traveling around could be a challenge if you’re not careful.
If you don’t have to be out today, it’s probably safest to stay inside until the rain and flooding die down. Even though the rain might slow down, flooded streets and low-lying areas will still pose a risk. Rivers and streams are overflowing, and there’s a chance of flash flooding in some spots. It can be tough to tell how deep the water is, so please be cautious.
What You Need to Know:
- Urban flooding is affecting Glasgow and surrounding areas, with streets becoming flooded in low-lying spots.
- Water levels are still rising, and flooded roads might make driving and walking hazardous.
- The flood advisory lasts until 2 PM Wednesday, so the situation will likely remain tough for a few more hours.
What You Can Do to Stay Safe:
- Avoid flooded roads: If you can, stay home or take a different route to avoid flooded streets. It’s better to be safe than to risk it.
- Don’t drive through water: Even if it looks shallow, floodwater can hide dangerous road conditions. It only takes a small amount of water to make your car lose control.
- Stay updated: Keep an eye on local news or weather reports. The situation can change quickly, and it’s good to know when the rain stops or if conditions worsen.
- Watch out near rivers and streams: Flash floods can happen fast. If you’re near any bodies of water, keep an eye on how fast the water is rising.
Glasgow and the surrounding areas are dealing with some serious flooding, and it’s not going to improve until 2 PM Wednesday. If you can, stay off the roads to avoid any unnecessary risks. It’s always better to wait it out than to drive through potentially dangerous conditions. Be patient, stay informed, and stay safe—the water will recede soon, but until then, stay dry and avoid the flooded areas.
