ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA METEOROLOGICAL SERVICES has issued a flash flood watch for low lying areas for Anguilla valid until 10 am tomorrow.
A flash flood watch means that conditions may develop that lead to moderate to major flooding in low lying and flood prone areas.
A low pressure area in the vicinity is expected to cause further instability across the region.
Precautions should be taken to safe guard life and property. Some houses in low lying and flood prone areas may require evacuation. Flash flooding is a very dangerous situation. You should monitor later forecasts and move quickly to higher ground if flash flooding is observed or imminent or if a flash flood warning is issued. Note, just one foot of flowing water is enough to sweep vehicles off the road. When encountering flooded roads, be extremely cautious, and if in doubt, make the smart choice, turn around don’t drown, move to higher ground. Source: http://antiguamet.com/
