Here's some tips for staying safe out there, I hope everybody makes it through this okay. First off, what to do in the event of a flash flood:
If you are in a car
Get to a safer location immediately, which usually means higher ground. If the Emergency Alert System (EAS) is telling your area to evacuate, follow their instructions on where to go and how to get there. Don't drive around barricades as responders often use them to keep people out of flood-prone areas.
Stay off bridges over water — water can rise and take out bridges without warning. NEVER attempt to drive through high water even if you think you can make it through. Just one foot of water is enough to lift a car off the ground. If your vehicle gets stuck in moving water, stay inside. If water starts to rise inside, then get out onto the roof.
If you are on Foot
DO NOT try to wade through water. All it takes is six inches of water to knock you over, especially if it's moving quickly. Floodwaters also often contain dangerous debris and can easily become electrified by downed power lines.
Seek refuge inside on a higher floor. Make sure you always have an exit route –
don't get trapped in an attic with no windows, for example. If the water looks to engulf the house/property, get on the roof if you can and signal for help.
Final Do's and Don'ts
DON'T use electricity in a home that's flooded or leave it on if you're evacuating. If water touches live electrical outlets, you could be electrocuted or it could cause a devastating fire.
DON'T handle wild animals in the floodwaters. They could carry disease or become aggressive especially because they're dealing with an unfamiliar situation.
DO make sure you have a weather emergency kit packed and ready to go ahead of time. If you're not sure what you should have in it, here's a list to get you started.
DON'T leave valuables or irreplaceable furniture on the lower levels of your house. Bring them upstairs whether or not you're evacuating.
DO wear protective clothing if you need to brave the flood at all. Waders or tall rubber rain boots are great if you have them. And if you have to move any debris, make sure you're wearing gloves.

Reminder to always have a emergency bag with supplies you will need in an event of a power outage or if you need to evacuate your home. If you don't have one right now, try to get one ready in the future, it made my life easier during a natural disaster I went through a few years ago I need to restock mine
If you are using generators, be safe with them. Incorrect use could kill you and your loved ones. I heard a heart breaking case of a family that died from improper use of generators, so make sure you are using them correctly. Here is some links that explain how to use them safely.

Another tip I didn't think about but was very obvious once I learned it is to wear proper shoes during a severe weather event. This is more of a tornado tip, but with disasters there will be sharp objects and debris everywhere and you need to keep your feet protected. Don't wear open toed shoes! Get the most durable pair you got with strong soles, like work boots. Although with flooding, the guide said rubber rain boots so I would go with that if you are escaping from water and have a pair.
