...A FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 430 PM PDT FOR  SOUTHWESTERN SAN BERNARDINO AND NORTHWESTERN RIVERSIDE COUNTIES...    AT 154 PM PDT...NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR CONTINUED TO  INDICATE HEAVY RAIN PRODUCING FLASH FLOODING. DUAL-POL RADAR STORM  TOTAL ESTIMATES HAVE INDICATED 1.50 TO 2.00 INCHES OF RAIN HAS  FALLEN IN THE CENTER OF THIS STORM SO FAR. THIS STORM WAS LOCATED  JUST NORTH OF YUCAIPA. THE THUNDERSTORM WITH EXCESSIVE RAIN WAS  NEARLY STATIONARY.    OTHER LOCATIONS IN THE WARNING INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO FOREST  FALLS...HIGHLAND AND ALONG STATE ROUTE 38 WEST OF FOREST FALLS.    PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...    MOST FLOOD DEATHS OCCUR IN AUTOMOBILES. NEVER DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO  AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE ROADWAY. FLOOD WATERS ARE USUALLY  DEEPER THAN THEY APPEAR. JUST ONE FOOT OF FLOWING WATER IS POWERFUL  ENOUGH TO SWEEP VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD. WHEN ENCOUNTERING FLOODED  ROADS MAKE THE SMART CHOICE...TURN AROUND...DONT DROWN.
