Be prepared. Conditions portend of a serious flood season, county officials warned, this week, in releasing a list of precautions that they recommend for those living and owning property in low-lying areas of the county.
The last serious flood season was 1997, said County Director of Emergency Services, Duane Winslow, and conditions are already equal to what they were then.
To make matters worse, this weekend will bring another major storm system that may add as much as another two inches of moisture to ground that is already saturated.
