The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office is urging motorists to stay attentive on the rain-soaked roads today as Tropical Storm Debby continues its effects on the region.

Motorists are reminded that:

• High water on roads will quickly stall motor vehicles.

• Most trucks and four-wheel drive vehicles are susceptible to begin swept away by high water.

• Vehicles approaching intersections with broken traffic lights should treat that intersection as a four-way stop.
