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

...FLASH FLOOD EMERGENCY FOR YANCEY COUNTY...

The National Weather Service in Greenville-Spartanburg has issued a

* Flash Flood Warning for...
  Yancey County in western North Carolina...

* Until 445 PM EDT Friday.

* At 850 AM EDT, emergency management reported heavy rain and 
  flooding across Yancey County. Between 4 and 9 inches of rain have 
  fallen. Shelter in place and do not travel unless fleeing 
  floodwaters. Significant flooding is ongoing in multiple 
  locations, resulting in road closures, first-floor  inundation, 
  and damage to some structures.  The risk of life-threatening 
  landslide activity continues to increase. The expected rainfall 
  rate is 1.5 to 2.5 inches in 1 hour.

  This is a FLASH FLOOD EMERGENCY for Yancey County. 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...Life threatening flash flooding of creeks and streams,
           urban areas, highways, streets and underpasses.
           Extensive flooding of homes and businesses.
           Widespread road closures.  Widespread life-threatening
           landslide activity.

* Some locations that will experience flash flooding include...
  Burnsville, Mount Mitchell State Park, B.R. Parkway-Craggy To 
  Little Switzerland, Micaville, Green Mountain, Ramseytown, Celo, 
  Swiss, Busick and Poplar.

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.

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.
