One unoccupied vehicle remains stranded at Rocky Ford until the
water recedes and a tow truck can get to it, Storer said.
There have been numerous reports of vehicles off the road during
this week's fog, heavy rains and flooding. Motorists are urged to be
cautious.
If anyone is stranded and needs help, they can call the EMA
office during business hours at 732-9491. Call 911 after hours.
