Cass County Emergency Management Coordinator Mike Kennon reports (as of 1-p.m.) driving conditions are deteriorating across the county, especially on rural roads.

Kennon says “We’ve had numerous reports of water standing on gravel roads.”

The low lying gravel roads are soft, but even the hills are rutted-out. Exercise extreme caution if you must travel on gravel roads, and remember not to cross ANY water standing on the roads, paved or otherwise.

Kennon says “Just be careful out there.”
