Thunderstorm Brings Heavy Rain and Flash Flooding to Hesperia?

10/3/2023 (Permalink)

We are leaders in storm damage restoration services in San Bernardino County.

Our local Hesperia/Apple Valley and Barstow/Twentynine Palms, Victorville teams respond to storm damage emergencies 24 hours a day. Thunderstorms can bring powerful winds, lightning, heavy rain, and hail under the right conditions. When thunderstorms drop rain, it is not uncommon for flash flooding to occur in low-lying areas.

Here are some tips for staying safe during a flash flood warning from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA):

• When thunder roars, go indoors. A sturdy building is the safest place to be during a thunderstorm.
• Pay attention to weather reports and warnings of thunderstorms. Be ready to change plans, if necessary, to be near shelter.
• When you receive a thunderstorm warning or hear thunder, go inside immediately.
• If indoors, avoid running water or using landline phones. Electricity can travel through plumbing and phone lines.
• Protect your property. Unplug appliances and other electric devices.
• If boating or swimming, get to land and find a sturdy, grounded shelter or vehicle immediately.
• If necessary, take shelter in a car with a metal top and sides. Do not touch anything metal.
• Avoid flooded roadways. Turn Around Don’t Drown®. Just six inches of fast-moving water can knock you down, and one foot of moving water can sweep your vehicle away.
