We are seeing way too many reports of water rescues and stranded motorists. Do not drive through flooded roadways. You do not know how deep the water is and it is too dangerous. Turn Around Don't Drown.

With the 7-8 active #FlashFloodEmergency(ies) in effect across the Northeast right now, there are about 18,310,398 people included. Pretty sure that’s the highest population to be included in a FFE at any one time since they have been issued. Pops from @NWSFlashFlood pic.twitter.com/skp2PHf6Yn
