City of Tallahassee officials are reminding drivers to be cautious about potential water on the road.
"Currents can be deceptive: fast moving water 6” deep can knock you off your feet, 12” deep can carry away a small car or SUV, 18” deep can sweep away a larger vehicle. Do not walk or drive through a flooded area," the city wrote on Twitter.
In Gadsden County flood waters washed away part of Cane Creek Road.
