If this were a normal-weather January, the storm system that will be moving through the area over the next couple of days might bring us snow that would be measured in feet. Instead, we’re expecting rain, and quite a bit of it today and early this weekend. The lack of any  white stuff doesn’t mean Mother Nature won’t likely bring us some potential  problems. There’s the strong potential for flooded basements and roadways and streets that become impassable because of high water. Over my  years doing news, I’ve had to report too many times about drownings which have occurred because a driver didn’t take a high water or road closed sign seriously. The experts say you can lose control of your vehicle when you encounter just a few inches of water on the road. The advice from emergency personnel in the area is simple. If you see a high water or road closed sign, or hear of a roadway that’s closed because of flooding , , take the warning seriously. the people who care for you would be very glad if you did. That’s the way I see it…
