Harford County Roads that Could Flood

When the rain is heavy, avoid these roads.

Don't plan on doing much driving from late Saturday into midday Sunday. Projections of heavy rain to go with strong winds and an already-saturated ground could make for treacherous travel.

H. Hudson Myers III, deputy director of the Harford County Division of Highways and Water Resources, said flooding could be the least of the problems.

"The biggest concern with this event's going to be trees across the roads," Myers said. "We're going to get more roads closed because of that than because of the flooding, I think."

Downed power lines could also close the roads, Myers said.

Barring an evacuation order, avoid traveling this weekend. If you do have to drive somewhere, though, these roads are prone to flooding. And remember, trees could come down on any road at any time.
