August 8, 2008 Important flash flood safety tip Play video

(NECN: Matt Noyes) - NECN meteorologist Matt Noyes delivers a worthwhile safety tip to New Englanders.

Matt tells us of a key rhyming phrase: "Turn around, don't drown".

In other words, do not drive through overflowing streams, brooks or rivers. You may not reach your intended destination, but you are more likely to remain safe.

As we learned today, driving through an overflowing stream can be deadly.
