Severe Weather Preparedness Week wraps up today with a focus on flood safety.
While residents of Coffeyville may not need a reminder of the impact and danger of flooding, according to the National Weather Service, floods kill more people each year than any other thunderstorm-related hazard. In addition, many flood deaths are the result of driving into flooded areas. The Turn Around, Don't Drown program reminds everyone that just 12 inches of water can carry away most cars.
