MUB's been out there since last night, today, inspecting their system. We have meetings with DOH tomorrow. LARMIE: MORE RAIN IS EXPECTED ON MONDAY NIGHT, BUT DAVIS SAYS IT WON'T BE AS SEVERE, AND HE THINKS THE ROADWAYS WILL BE FINE - BUT IF THEY'RE NOT... DAVIS: 7:13 You know if you see flood waters, don't try to drive through them. Uh, that can be very dangerous. You know your, your car stalls out, and you're stuck in the middle of it, and water is very powerful, and it completely away pretty quickly. So yeah, just be safe and be careful. 7:28 LARMIE: FOR 12 NEWS IN MORGANTOWN, I'M LARMIE SANYON. DON HEAVY RAIN IN MARION COUNTY OVER THE WEEKEND ALSO LED TO SOME PROBLEMS FOR RESIDENTS.
