SIGNIFICANT FLOODING CONTINUES IN NORTHERN CHICOT COUNTY ALONG BIG
BAYOU...AS WELL AS SMALL BAYOUS AND STREAMS FEEDING INTO BAYOU
BARTHOLOMEW. BIG BAYOU IS AT VERY HIGH LEVELS...AND WILL LIKELY RISE
ANOTHER FOOT BEFORE CRESTING LATER THIS EVENING. THIS WILL MEAN
FLOODING ON THE EAST SIDE OF DERMOTT AND ALONG BIG BAYOU WILL
CONTINUE TO WORSEN THROUGH MID EVENING...BUT SHOULD THEN GRADUALLY
RECEDE.
ADDITIONALLY...FLOODING ALONG SMALL STREAMS AND BAYOUS FEEDING INTO
BAYOU BARTHOLOMEW WILL CONTINUE THIS EVENING AS THE BAYOU RISES AND
RUNOFF FROM RAINFALL OF THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS CONTINUES. THESE
SMALL STREAMS SHOULD BEGIN TO RECEDE LATER THIS EVENING AS RUNOFF
CEASES.
BAYOU BARTHOLOMEW ITSELF IS RISING SHARPLY THIS EVENING. THIS RISE
WILL SLOW BY FRIDAY...BUT A SLOW RISE WILL CONTINUE FOR SEVERAL MORE
DAYS. THE BAYOU SHOULD PEAK JUST BELOW LEVELS OBSERVED IN LATE
OCTOBER OCTOBER AND EARLY NOVEMBER. THIS PEAK WILL OCCUR IN ABOUT 7
DAYS AT PORTLAND...AND 10 DAYS DOWNSTREAM AT JONES.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
MOST FLOOD DEATHS OCCUR IN AUTOMOBILES. NEVER DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO
AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE ROADWAY. FLOOD WATERS ARE USUALLY
DEEPER THAN THEY APPEAR. JUST ONE FOOT OF FLOWING WATER IS POWERFUL
ENOUGH TO SWEEP VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD. WHEN ENCOUNTERING FLOODED
ROADS MAKE THE SMART CHOICE...TURN AROUND...DONT DROWN.
