Flooding is expected in two major US states on Sunday evening.

The National Weather Service predicted that significant storms would hit two major US states on Sunday afternoon. The storms could cause dangerous flash flooding in a few major US states.

Both Wisconsin and Iowa are on alert for flash flooding.

“Storms developing ahead of a cold front from central Iowa to northeast Wisconsin will train/repeat throughout the afternoon. “As rain rates increase to 1-2″/hr, this training could result in axes of more than 3 inches of rain, potentially leading to flash flooding,” the National Weather Service stated.

As a reminder, here’s what to do when severe flash flooding occurs.

Stay informed by listening to radio and television, including NOAA Weather Radio if possible, and checking the Internet and social media for information and updates.

Get to Higher Ground: If you live in a flood-prone area or are camping in a low-lying area, move to higher ground right away.

Obey Evacuation Orders: If you are told to evacuate, do so immediately. When you leave, make sure your home is locked. If you have time, turn off utilities and appliances.

Practice Electrical Safety: Do not enter a basement or any room if water is covering the electrical outlets or the cords are submerged. If you see sparks or hear buzzing, crackling, snapping, or popping sounds, get out! Stay out of water that may contain electricity!

Avoid Flood Waters: Do not walk through flood waters. Just 6 inches of moving water can knock you off your feet. If you become trapped by moving water, seek refuge at the highest possible point and, if possible, call 911. Do not drive into flooded roads or around barricades; turn around and don’t drown! Water may be deeper than it appears and conceal hazards such as sharp objects, washed-out road surfaces, electrical wires, chemicals, and so on. A vehicle caught in fast-moving water can be swept away in seconds. A car or small SUV can float in 12 inches of water, while large vehicles can be carried away in 18 inches of water.
