Heavy rains are expected to continue throughout the evening. There also is a power outage in the Woodlake Terrace subdivision just off Nansemond Parkway, and at least one home in the city has been struck by lightning.

The following driving safety tips are recommended:

• Drivers should use extreme caution.
• Never drive around barricades.
• Be especially careful at night, as it can be difficult to see water and its depth across the roadway.
• Never cross or enter flowing water.
• Driving fast through water creates less tire contact with the road surface and increases your chance of crashing.
• Remember that 6 inches of water will reach the bottoms of most car doors.

Citizens are asked to report flooding to the National Weather Service by calling 1-800-737-8624 or notify the Suffolk Police Department at 923-2350, extension 0.
