County Harsh Rain Floods Roads and Crops
Heavy rain over Monday and Tuesday swelled watercourses across the county, flooding roads and washing away bridges. Puzzle Creek and Broad River forced short-term highway closures on routes 20 and 19, with ten inches of rain since September 23 making this September one of the wettest in fifty years. County roads remain closed as floodwaters recede, damaging corn, bottom lands, and especially cotton. Estimated flood damage around $100,000 from last week’s floods and Lake Lure gate openings.
