(10:20 a.m. Thursday announcement)

[June 05, 2008] The National Weather Service in Lincoln has issued a flood warning in effect until 10:15 a.m. Friday for small streams in Logan County.

Law enforcement officials reported that flooding was continuing Thursday morning along both Salt Creek and Kickapoo Creek due to the heavy rain that has occurred over the past three days.

Additional rainfall expected Friday may aggravate the ongoing flooding problem.

Flooding is imminent or occurring. If you are in the warned area, move to higher ground immediately. Residents living along creeks and streams should take immediate precautions to protect life and property. Do not attempt to cross swiftly flowing waters or waters of unknown depth by foot or automobile.

Report any flooding to your local emergency manager or the nearest law enforcement agency for relay to the National Weather Service.
