The Rains of Heaven will be shut off for maintenance purposes due to heavy rain expected in our area. We apologize for the inconvenience.

We are experiencing heavy rains and thunderstorms over the next few days and are currently under a flood watch. Heavy rains in short time spans may result in high water on roads and temporary closures at low water crossings.

Before heading out, residents are encouraged to check SARiverFlood.org or their local county flood website for real‑time roadway conditions:

These sites provide up‑to‑date information from flood‑monitoring sensors across the region. Real‑time updates are available 24/7 to help you stay informed as conditions change.

Please use caution when traveling and plan routes accordingly.
