Recent rains flooded many areas, causing several road closures. This photo shows the heavy flooding occurring in the Shiloh area, near the intersection of Mansfield Adario and Adams roads. The water was just inches from the bottom of the sign. Drivers are reminded not to attempt to drive through standing water. Several inches of water is all that's needed to sweep a car off the road, which when covered with water is also prone to collapse. In case of flooding, drivers should play it safe and find another route.
