Not sure what you're objecting to. Not everybody puts two and two
together and realizes that a lot of rain = potential flood. In fact,
I'd wager that most people don't make that connection unless they've
been told, or witnessed a flood first-hand. And likewise, a lot of
people might not make the connection that a little flooding now
could lead to a lot of flooding in a few hours.

However, how many people who are "experiencing flooding" go to
low-lying areas without such warning?

So it makes perfect sense to broadcast a two-sentence warning on
the radio.

The second sentence is the issue.
