Turn Around…..Don’t Drown

It has been raining for days and we are all tired of it!  Many roads in the Louisville area have been covered by water from rivers and creeks overflowing their banks.  If you approach one of these water covered roads, please turn around and find an alternate route to your destination.  #TurnAroundDontDrown
