Make sure to stay away from flooded areas. Poor drainage areas may easily flood.

Turn Around Don't Drown.
Advertencia por inundación. Zonas con mal drenaje pueden inundarse. Calles pueden estar inundadas, no intente cruzar. Tome vía alterna #stormalert9 pic.twitter.com/LXooFu9hmk

Good news is that it peaked in intensity.. now "only" about 180 lightning strikes in the last 15 minutes. #StormAlert9 pic.twitter.com/WGpdmBYMTL
If you encounter a flooded street, please make sure to take al alternate route. Water may be deeper than expected. Only 6 inches of rain can cause a car to stall.
A similar pattern is in the forecast for Thursday. Early showers and scattered storms on Thursday, followed by more storm coverage during the afternoon.
