The Lawrence County Fire and Rescue issued a warning to the community after heavy rains hit this morning.

The department stated, "Turn around, Don't drown," after emergency crews responded to a vehicle that had been swept away by rising waters.

There is a possibility of more heavy rain expected for today, and it is likely that the waters will recede rapidly.

Officials advise motorists to use caution, and always turn around rather than trying to cross a road that is flooded.
