Green Bay, WI (WTAQ) – Flood watch is in effect because of the heavy rains across most of northeast Wisconsin the past couple of days.
Melissa Spielman is with Brown County Emergency Management.
She says the rule of thumb to follow when you see standing water over the road, or barriers across the highway, is “turn around, don’t drown”.
In addition to deep water across the pavement…another problem is the increased potential for hydro-planing, so keep your speed down.
And as the rain slows and moves out of the area…there’s another issue the emergency folks are watching.
They’ll be keeping in touch with police and fire departments around the county to monitor unsafe river and stream levels.
