People who live in low areas or near waterways got just what they didn't need today- more rain.
Emergency Management Duty Officer Bob Ammons says when the ground is saturated families should pay attention to the potential for flooding.
"That's where your basements start getting it first and it rises from there. You know if you're on a concrete slab it's going to rise up from the outside. It's going to get into your house. It's going to get into your doors. Hopefully it doesn't get high enough to get in your windows, but anything is possible," said Bob Ammons.
The American Red Cross came to the rescue of five local families who were flooded out of their homes. Red Cross spokesperson Chris Osborne says three of them are now in a hotel.
"They were able to get some client assistance cards for food. On Monday, beginning of the week, we'll check back with those families to see if some clean up," said Chris Osborne. "The areas that were hardest hit were Midfield, Brighton, and Fairfield and obviously we wanted to respond to those areas very quickly."
For places where the forecast calls for continued rain, the American Red Cross is urging residents to use caution.
"Flash floods come very quickly and we urge people to remember their safety plan. You know, don't drive through standing water, if you see water starting to creep up in your homes take appropriate actions. You know it doesn't seem like it could be that dangerous, but really flash floods can pose a serious problem," said Chris Osborne.
