  rain has fallen. Additional rainfall amounts of 0.5 to 1 inch are 
  possible in the warned area. Flash flooding is ongoing or expected

moving through the Carrizo Creek. The debris flow can consist of 
rock, mud, vegetation and other loose materials.

           producing flash flooding in and around the Salt Fire
           Burn Scar.

           the Salt Fire Burn Scar.

* Some locations that will experience flash flooding include...
  Lake Mescalero and Apache Summit.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

This is a life threatening situation. Heavy rainfall will cause 
extensive and severe flash flooding of creeks...streams...and 
ditches in the Salt Fire Burn Scar. Severe debris flows can also be 
anticipated across roads. Roads and driveways may be washed away in 
places. If you encounter flood waters...climb to safety.

Move away from recently burned areas. Life-threatening flooding of 
creeks, roads and normally dry arroyos is likely. The heavy rains 
will likely trigger rockslides, mudslides and debris flows in steep 
terrain, especially in and around these areas.
