Flash Flood Warning
National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC
637 AM EDT Fri Sep 27 2024

...FLASH FLOOD EMERGENCY FOR BURKE, MCDOWELL, ALEXANDER, AND 
CALDWELL COUNTIES ...

The National Weather Service in Greenville-Spartanburg has issued a

* Flash Flood Warning for...
  Alexander County in the piedmont of North Carolina...
  Burke County in western North Carolina...
  Caldwell County in western North Carolina...
  McDowell County in western North Carolina...

* Until 230 PM EDT Friday.

* At 637 AM EDT, emergency management reported extensive significant 
  life-threatening flooding across the warned area.  Numerous road 
  closures were reported recently.  In many locations, 7 to 10 
  inches of rain have fallen in the last 12 to 24 hours, and an 
  additional swath of heavy rainfall is arriving from the south.  
  This will result in imminent catastrophic flooding in the warned 
  area.

  This is a FLASH FLOOD EMERGENCY for Burke, McDowell, Alexander, 
  and Caldwell Counties . This is a PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS 
  SITUATION. SEEK HIGHER GROUND NOW!

  HAZARD...Life threatening flash flooding. Heavy rain 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.
           Catastrophic damage to infrastructure and inundation
           of homes and businesses.  Many life-threatening
           landslides.  Numerous road closures and dangerous low-
           water crossings.

* Some locations that will experience flash flooding include...
  Hickory, Lenoir, Morganton, Marion, Taylorsville, Longview, 
  Sawmills, Granite Falls, Valdese, Gamewell, Bethlehem, Hudson, 
  Salem, Icard, Cajah's Mountain, Drexel, Hildebran, Connelly 
  Springs, Blowing Rock In Caldwell County and Stony Point.

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

In hilly terrain there are hundreds of low water crossings which are 
potentially dangerous in heavy rain. Do not attempt to cross flooded 
roads. Find an alternate route.
