Cierres de carreteras en el condado durante advertencia de inundación

La advertencia de inundación repentina está vigente para el Condado de Montgomery hasta horas de la tarde de hoy lunes en algunas áreas específicas.  Los Servicios de Bomberos y Rescate han reportado múltiples cierres de carreteras debido a las inundaciones causadas por las fuertes lluvias.

Se recomienda seguir las actualizaciones de Pete Piringer, MCFRS y MCDOT Highway Services en Twitter, antes de salir a las carreteras, para verificar si hay cierres en las vías. MCFRS aconseja a todos los conductores que se regresen si se encuentran con carreteras inundadas, ya que muchos vehículos tuvieron que ser rescatados de las inundaciones y las comunicaciones de los Servicios de Bomberos y Rescate están en Alerta Roja, lo que significa que hay limitado acceso para rescates.

El gobierno del condado advierte que de 12 a 18 pulgadas de agua es suficiente para llevarse la mayoría de los vehículos.
