Flash Storm Destroys Crops and Bridges in Alleghany County
A sudden 30 minute storm in southwestern Alleghany County washed out three bridges and closed two roads. Farmers report severe damage to corn and oats valued in thousands. The flood saturated a seven mile stretch, with a largest bridge of 40 feet on county road No 1 washed away. State police rerouted traffic on Highway 305. An elderly Nile farmer called it the worst storm in 63 years as a 10 foot sheet of water crossed Clarksville road.
