Think your home #insurance policy will cover you during a flood or a flash flood? Think again. Only flood insurance covers the damages a home might sustain during a flood. For more information about flood insurance, visit https://t.co/N4SGmZWgYF. Details: https://t.co/Os4lFJFzCb

Never drive through a flooded road. In addition to the risk of being swept away by flowing water....you have no idea how the road below has been compromised

[National Weather Service @NWS]

It only takes a few inches of quickly-flowing water to sweep many vehicles away, and you never know what the floodwaters have done to the road beneath murky waters.

The road may not be stable, or even there! Turn around, don't drown.

[Tennessee Emergency Management Agency (TEMA) @TennesseeEMA]

If your area is experiencing flash flooding, act now:
📣 Listen to local officials
🚧 Never drive through a flooded road
🚗 Turn Around, Don't Drown
📻 Have more than one way to receive alerts

[Tennessee Emergency Management Agency (TEMA) @TennesseeEMA]

It doesn't have to be raining where you are for lightning to be a threat. Lightning can strike 10-15 MILES from a thunderstorm! 🌩️

Remember: See a Flash, Dash Inside!

TN doesn’t get hurricanes directly, but we do feel their severe weather effects. Water is a deadly threat during hurricane season and life-threatening flooding is possible far inland.

Please don't panic buy gas. This can create shortages at stations. Only buy what you need and NEVER use unapproved containers for fuel.

[Morgan County EMA @MorganCountyEMA]

Please only buy what you would normally. Panic buying is creating the shortages

[Tennessee Emergency Management Agency (TEMA) @TennesseeEMA]

Tennesseans looking for gas, or a way to report an outage, can check out the @GasBuddy Fuel Availability Tracker.

Please only take what you need and do not hoard fuel.
