Recent heavy rains across Missouri are a good reminder to stay alert for flooded roads. Even if you don't live in a flood-prone area, flooding can impact your daily commute and create dangerous travel conditions. Most flood-related deaths occur when drivers attempt to cross moving water, and it takes surprisingly little water to sweep a vehicle off the road.

If heavy rain has been falling for several hours or days, pay close attention to local forecasts and flood alerts. Never drive around barricades, and be prepared with an emergency plan and supplies in case flooding affects your area.

Watermelon also provides vitamin C to support immune health, vitamin A for healthy vision and skin and lycopene, an antioxidant that gives watermelon its vibrant red color.

Did you know? Watermelon has been enjoyed for more than 4,000 years. Seeds and paintings of watermelons have been discovered in ancient Egyptian tombs.
