* At 546 AM EDT, emergency management reported catastrophic flooding 
  across parts of Mitchell and Avery County, especially Bakersville 
  and the surrounding areas.  Widespread heavy rainfall in excess of 
  7 to 10 inches has resulted in numerous road closures, flooded

  rescues across both counties.  Mitchell County emergency 
  management reported that there is a shelter for those displaced by 
  flooding located at Mitchell High School at 416 Ledger School Road.

  This is a FLASH FLOOD EMERGENCY for across Mitchell and Avery 
  Counties. This is a PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. SEEK HIGHER 
  GROUND NOW!

  HAZARD...Life threatening flash flooding. Thunderstorms
           producing flash flooding.

  SOURCE...Emergency management reported.

  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.  Extensive
           damage to infrastructure, homes, and businesses.
           Significant landslide threat.

* Some locations that will experience flash flooding include...
  Spruce Pine, Newland, Banner Elk, Elk Park, Bakersville, Beech 
  Mountain In Avery County, Crossnore, Sugar Mountain, Seven Devils,

  Parkway-Linville Falls To Grandfather, Grandfather Mountain State 
  Park, B.R. Parkway-Craggy To Little Switzerland, Altamont,

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.

Heavy rain is significantly increasing the risk of landslides, 
especially in areas where slides have occurred in the past. Slides 
can destroy single homes and other structures and large sections of 
roads. If you are in the warned area, you should not travel, except 
to move away from flash flood or landslide dangers. If you are in 
the vicinity of a stream near the heavy rainfall, especially on a 
mountainside, or at the base of a mountain or in a cove, move 
immediately to a safer location.

Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood 
deaths occur in vehicles.

Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the 
dangers of flooding.

Be aware of your surroundings and do not drive on flooded roads.
