The forecast on local stations may differ from what the Edneyville Area gets. Currently we are looking at about 9 inches of rain within a 24 hour period. This from around 8 pm Sat to 8 pm Sun. We will even see some areas with a little more than that locally. So what does this mean for us:
-In May when we had such bad flooding we received 8 inches of rain. So this will effect us in many of the same ways, and may even make some of the previously effected areas worse.
-If we receive more than the 9 inches predicted we will see flooding in areas never seen before.
-Remember with having both Sugarloaf and Bearwallow Mtns any water that falls on them must come downhill. Again we saw flooding on top of the mountain, something that in the past was unheard of.
-Be heads up, watch for moving earth (landslides) and debris.
-Expect US 64 to be flooded between Laycock Rd and S Mills Gap Rd and then in the area of Hog Rock Rd.
-Remember do not drive through high water, you do not know what condition the road is in or what debris maybe in the water. Turn Around Don't Drown.
-If you see a road blocked off or flagged off with caution tape, this is for everyone NOT everyone but you. We have done this to keep everyone safe, not trying to be an inconvenience.
-It will likely be up to 24 hours before closed roads maybe reopen, so plan for this and look for alternate routes now. ... See MoreSee Less
