The Mississippi Department of Transportation (MOT) is preparing for potential flash flooding and debris by fueling vehicles, sharpening saws, and cleaning storm drains.

Travelers are urged to avoid flooded roadways and remember the advice, “turn around, don’t drown.” Additionally, drawbridges along the coast will close for marine traffic by 6 p.m. to enhance safety during the storm.
