I was just in front of the Flying Pig like 3 hours ago. Water was running ponding but the creek must have blown out after that first storm rolled through.

I was guessing there would be flooding at the mill, recall seeing some of the high water marks there from 2004. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxKnurd Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 This was 112 at Hominy Creek, turned around instead of trying to cross that. Not as bad as what’s going on in Haywood but shows that even Buncombe is getting hit hard in spots. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That went from nothing to flooding so quickly. That fit the definition of flash flooding. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
