...FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 830 AM EDT THIS
MORNING FOR CENTRAL FRANKLIN COUNTY...

At 256 AM EDT, Doppler radar indicated thunderstorms producing heavy
rain in Rocky Mount. Between 2 and 6 inches of rain have fallen.
Flooding impacts will continue, but no additional rainfall is
expected. Flash flooding is already occurring.

HAZARD...Flash flooding caused by thunderstorms.

SOURCE...Radar.

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...
  Rocky Mount...                     Boones Mill...
Ferrum...                          Callaway...
Wirtz...                           Burnt Chimney...
Western Smith Mountain Lake...

This includes the following streams and drainages...
  Gills Creek, Blackwater River, Doe Run, Dillons Mill Branch,
  Boothe Creek, Coles Creek, Little Creek, Furnace Creek, Hatchet
  Creek and Little Chestnut Creek.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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.

Stay away or be swept away. River banks and culverts can become
unstable and unsafe.

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.

Rainfall of more than five inches in similar storms has been
associated with an increased risk of landslides and rockslides. If
you live on a mountainside or in a cove at the base of a mountain,
especially near a stream, be ready to leave in advance of the storm
or as quickly as possible should rising water, moving earth, or
rocks threaten. Consider postponing travel along mountain roads
during periods of heavy rainfall.

When it is safe to do so, please send your reports of flooding,
including mudslides or flooded roads, to the National Weather
Service by calling toll free at 1...8 6 6...2 1 5...4 3 2 4. Reports
and pictures can also be shared on the National Weather Service
Blacksburg Facebook page and on Twitter.
