Denton County ARES

06/19/2026

With the multiple critical emergency alerts we have been receiving, this one is quite serious. Turn around and don’t drown.

🚨 Heads Up, Denton County 🚨

Mother Nature apparently skipped her morning coffee and went straight for the fire hose.

A Flash Flood Warning has been issued until 10:45 AM for portions of southeastern Denton County, along with Dallas and Collin Counties. Heavy thunderstorms are producing rainfall rates of up to 2 inches per hour, with an additional 2 to 3 inches possible this morning.

🌧️ Some areas have already received 1 to 3 inches of rain, and flash flooding is either ongoing or expected to develop quickly.

Areas that may be impacted include:
📍 Lewisville
📍 Carrollton
📍 Frisco
📍 The Colony
📍 Other portions of southeastern Denton County

⚠️ Expect flooding of:
• Low water crossings
• Small creeks and streams
• Roadways and underpasses
• Poor drainage and low-lying areas

If you encounter a flooded roadway, remember:

🚗 Turn Around, Don’t Drown

No meeting, coffee run, or breakfast taco is worth risking your vehicle—or your life.

Stay weather aware this morning, allow extra travel time, and keep an eye on changing conditions. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as needed.

Statewide EAS/iPAWS test today.

This is your friendly reminder about the statewide test of the Emergency Alert System occurring TODAY from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Alerts will be sent through your phone (much like an Amber alert), and broadcast over the TV and radio stations. You may also hear outdoor warning sirens.

With multiple alerts possible during the statewide test, it could be mildly (or very) annoying for a short time.

But here’s the important part 👇
🚫 Please don’t turn off emergency alerts on your phone.

These alerts are critical for:
🌪️ Severe weather warnings
🚨 Public safety threats
👮 AMBER alerts and more

When something serious happens, this is one of the fastest ways you can be reached.

So, please, hang in there during the test! It helps ensure these systems work when they are truly needed.

And just to confirm one more time…
👉 This is only a TEST. No action on your part is required.
