Weather Alert from the Bates County Sheriff's Office

Just an update on the weather. It’s going to rain. Now with all the formalities out of the way we wanted to let you know that we are experiencing flooding throughout the county. 

Please please please don’t drive through high water. You’re important to us and we want to make sure you safely wake up in the morning at home.

Parents: please have a conversation with your young drivers about driving in high water and the dangers associated with that.

“Turn Around Don’t Drown”. If you don’t have to be out in the weather please stay home. - Courtesy of the Bates County Sheriff's Office
