Flooded Gaston County braces for more rain this week
After severe flooding along the Catawba River, Gaston County faces a forecast of isolated showers Wednesday and Thursday with a 70 percent and 30 percent chance respectively. Officials urge caution as water levels recede but warn of rapid rises from any storms. Duke Energy plans to release water to make room for rain, creating treacherous currents near dams. Local roads remain hazardous from debris and grit, with several sites reporting basement flooding. Community leaders review response plans to reduce impact if floods return.
