Lima, OH (WIMA) - Heavy rain can lead to hydroplaning vehicles and costly flooding damage for motorists and homeowners.
Kimberly Schwind, Senior Public Relations Manager for AAA Ohio, says to avoid using cruise control on the roads during rainy conditions.
AAA urges drivers to take caution when dealing with rising waters by checking tire tread, cleaning your windshield, and keeping your headlights clean.
Avoid water covered roads whenever possible as flooding of even just a few inches can be enough to cause problems, and keep updated on your home water damage and flood coverage.
