Lowndes – Local law enforcement would like to remind everyone to avoid flooded roadways.

Officers have worked several of these calls this morning. Attempting to cross flooded roads is a hazard to both motorists and those responding. Please keep yourselves and our first responders safe by avoiding flooded areas.
