250 PM EST FRI DEC 28 2018
The National Weather Service in Greenville-Spartanburg has issued a
* Flood Warning for...
Far western Rutherford County in western North Carolina...
Eastern Henderson County in western North Carolina...
Northwestern Polk County in western North Carolina...
* Until 245 AM EST Saturday.
* At 239 PM EST, emergency management reported continued effects
from earlier heavy rainfall. The Rocky Broad River at Bat Cave has
risen above flood stage. Campgrounds along the river are in danger
of flooding. Lake Summit is above full pool, and as water is
released from the lake downstream flooding is expected to worsen
along the Green River in Polk County. Green River Cove Road has
already flooded, and the Green River Highlands community likely
will become isolated by rising floodwaters. Further downstream
near Lake Adger, John Watson and Ken Miller roads may flood.
* Some locations that will experience flooding include...
Saluda, Chimney Rock State Park, Bat Cave, Lake Adger, Mill Spring,
Dana and Tuxedo.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
Most flood deaths occur in vehicles. Do not attempt to cross
water-covered roadways, bridges, or low-level crossings. Only a few
inches of rapidly flowing water can carry away your vehicle. It is
not worth the risk. Please TURN AROUND, DON'T DROWN. Low-water
crossings can be submerged by flood waters quickly and without
warning. Never attempt to travel across flooded crossings. Find an
alternate route.
Numerous roads, parking lots and bridges will be threatened by heavy
rain and rapidly rising streams and creeks. Please pay close
attention to road signs indicating a flood-prone area. Obey all
barricades, even if water is not currently over the road. Barricades
are in place for your protection and indicate areas where flooding
can occur rapidly and without warning.
