The National Weather Service office in Memphis, Tennessee warned residents Thursday not to enter flood waters and posted safety tips for flash flooding.
The office said 6 inches of moving water can knock over an adult and 12 inches can carry away a small car.
The post included guidance on what to do during and after a flash flooding event and emphasized never entering flood waters, according to the agency.
The social media post included photos and the hashtag #ARSWAW2026, the office said.
