...FLASH FLOOD EMERGENCY FOR CITY OF GREENVILLE...

The National Weather Service in Greenville-Spartanburg has issued a

* Flash Flood Warning for...
  Central Greenville County in Upstate South Carolina...

* Until 900 PM EST Thursday.

* At 300 PM EST, Greenville County Emergency Management is reporting 
  numerous roads closed due to flooding across the city of

  the next 2-8 hours. 

  THIS IS A FLASH FLOOD EMERGENCY FOR THE CITY OF GREENVILLE 
  INCLUDING BEREA, WELCOME, and AREAS ADJACENT TO THE SALUDA RIVER. 
  This is a PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. SEEK HIGHER GROUND NOW!

  **PLEASE AVOID ALL UNNECESSARY TRAVEL AND OBEY ALL BARRICADES.**

  HAZARD...Life-threatening flash flooding due to heavy rain.

  SOURCE...Emergency management.

  IMPACT...This is a PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. SEEK HIGHER 
           GROUND NOW!  Life-threatening flash flooding of low-water 
           crossings, small creeks and streams, urban areas, highways, 
           streets and underpasses is ongoing.  Flooding of some 
           homes, businesses, and other structures adjacent to streams 
           and low-lying areas remains possible; seek higher ground 
           NOW!

* Significant rises along the Reedy River and the Saluda River are 
  ongoing and areas of new flooding are expected to develop through 
  Thursday evening as it will take some time for area streams to 
  crest. Numerous roads will remain closed across the warned area. 
  DO NOT DRIVE THROUGH FLOODED ROADWAYS.  The Saluda River will see
  significant rises through Thursday evening and overnight and
  impacts to adjacent areas are possible.  Please stay weather aware
  and be prepared to seek higher ground through tonight.

* Some locations that will experience significant flooding include...
  Greenville Downtown, Greenville Eastside, West Greenville, Berea,
  Welcome and possibly homes adjacent to the Saluda River between 
  Earle E Morris Hwy (SC 153) and Saluda Dam Rd.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Move to higher ground now. This is an extremely dangerous and
life-threatening situation. Do not attempt to travel unless you are
fleeing an area subject to flooding or under an evacuation order.

Excessive runoff from heavy rainfall will cause flooding in urban
areas. Storm drains, streams and other drainages will become
overwhelmed by excessive rainfall, flooding low-lying roads,
intersections, and parking lots. Underpasses are especially dangerous
because sudden flood waters can quickly surround and submerge your
vehicle. Stay alert and avoid flood-prone areas.

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.
