            Updates previous flash flood report from
            Belfry. Video posted to social media at 5:33
            PM showing flash flooding along Pond Creek
            in Belfry. Pike County Emergency Management
            reports that flood waters did not get up
            onto US-119, but that floodwaters did
            inundate alleys that back up to the river in
            Belfry. The social media video was taken
            from a residence along Murphy Bottom Road,
            and neighboring Pine Street is a gentle
            sloping alleyway road down to the waterway.
            Water had inundated the backyards of these
            residences, so Pine Street was likely an
            alley road that got inundated. Pike County
            EM also reports that a garage on Murphy
            Bottom Road took on water from the flash
            flooding.
