Daylight Savings Ends As Rain Continues Overnight

The clocks have turned back, while the rain continues to fall

The annual end of Daylight Saving Time means that the clocks will turn back one hour overnight, giving us an extra hour of sleep. However, this time change also marks the beginning of winter weather, and we can expect to see more rain in the coming months.

The National Weather Service has issued a hazardous weather outlook for much of the country, with heavy rain and possible flooding expected. The NWS advises residents to be prepared for possible power outages and travel delays.

What to do if you encounter flooding

If you encounter flooding, it is important to take the following precautions:

  • Do not drive through flooded areas. Even a few inches of water can cause your car to stall.
  • If you must walk through flooded areas, use a sturdy stick to help you stay balanced.
  • Be aware of downed power lines. If you see a downed power line, stay away from it and call 911.
  • If your home is flooded, turn off the electricity and gas at the main switches.
  • Do not enter a flooded home until the water has receded and the home has been inspected by a qualified electrician.
  • Stay informed about the weather

    It is important to stay informed about the weather, especially during severe weather events. The NWS provides up-to-date weather forecasts and warnings on its website and through its mobile app.
