The National Weather Service in Wilmington has extended the

* Flash Flood Warning for...
  Northwestern Bladen County in southeastern North Carolina...
  Robeson County in southeastern North Carolina...
  Northwestern Dillon County in northeastern South Carolina...
  Eastern Marlboro County in northeastern South Carolina...

* Until 200 PM EDT.

* At 1102 AM EDT, emergency management reported flash flooding 
  across the warned area. Between 5 and 7 inches of rain have fallen 
  over the last couple of days.

  HAZARD...Flash flooding caused by heavy rain.

  SOURCE...Emergency management reported.

  IMPACT...Flash flooding of small creeks and streams, urban
           areas, highways, streets and underpasses as well as
           other poor drainage and low-lying areas. Despite the
           heaviest rain coming to an end, previously flooded
           areas are draining into nearby creeks and swamps. Law
           enforcement and  emergency management agencies are
           reporting flooded roadways across  much of the warned
           area. Low areas and drainage basins will also  flood,
           even after rain has come to an end. If you encounter a
           flooded roadway, Turn Around, Don't Drown!

* Some locations that will experience flash flooding include...
  Lumberton, Dillon, Red Springs, Pembroke, Maxton, Mccoll, St. 
  Pauls, Rowland, Clio, Buie, Prospect, Elrod, Robeson Community 
  College, Purvis, Barker Ten Mile, Wakulla, Shannon, Raemon, Rex 
  and Howellsville.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Excessive runoff from heavy rainfall will cause dangerous flooding, 
especially near creeks and streams, drainage ditches, and low-lying 
flood prone areas. Turn around, don't drown if you encounter a 
flooded road. Most flood deaths occur in vehicles. Stay away from 
storm drains, culverts, creeks, and streams. Water levels can rise 
rapidly and sweep you away.
