Flash Flood Warning
National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC
754 PM EDT Tue Aug 17 2021

The National Weather Service in Greenville-Spartanburg has extended 
the

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

* Until 200 AM EDT Wednesday.

* At 754 PM EDT, Heavy rain has ended across the warned area of 
  Madison County.  However, excessive runoff continues and many area 
  streams continue to rise.  Additional Minor flooding is likely 
  over the next few hours before streams start to crest and 
  conditions improve later tonight.  Between 2 and 4 inches of 
  storm-total rain has fallen. Additional rainfall amounts up to 0.5 
  inches are possible in the warned area, but this will NOT cause 
  new flooding to develop. Flash flooding is ongoing! Please avoid 
  all flooded roadways and stay away from low-lying areas and 
  low-water crossings, as floodwaters can rise rapidly and without 
  warning.

  HAZARD...Flash flooding caused by thunderstorms.

  SOURCE...Radar and automated gauges.

  IMPACT...Flash flooding of small creeks and streams, urban
           areas, highways, streets and underpasses as well as
           other poor drainage and low-lying areas.

* Some locations that will experience flash flooding include...
  Marshall, Mars Hill, Hot Springs, Walnut, Allenstand, Spring 
  Creek, Faust, Luck, Wolf Ridge and Max Patch.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Heavy rain is increasing the risk of landslides, especially in areas 
where slides have occurred in the past. Be especially alert if you 
are near a stream, especially at the base of a mountain or in a 
cove. Watch for loose-moving soil and rocks or a sudden increase in 
streamflow. Leave the area quickly if this is observed. When driving 
along roads where the terrain is steep or rocky, watch and listen 
for falling rocks, mud, trees and other debris.

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