Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeThe evening of May 18th saw one of the more impressive flash flood events of the month as several strong to severe thunderstorms tracked across eastern Carroll County, VA. Several rounds of very heavy rainfall were observed across the Big Reed Island Creek watershed between Dugspur and Hillsville with various radar estimates of about 4 to 6+ inches of rain in about 3 hours. No rain gages were available in this area to provide a check on the radar estimates, but both Dual-Pol and Multi-Radar/Multi-Sensor rain estimates were roughly 5-6 inches. Several flooding reports and mudslides reports were received very quickly. Emergency management officials in the county later reported that the flash flooding was the ���worst in living memory��� according to several residents in the area. An approximate 1.5 mile stretch of Highway 221 was shut down due to 3 separate mud slides and 2 areas where Big Reed Island Creek was over the road to a depth of 4-5 feet at its peak.��Fortunately, there were no injuries and only a single box culvert sustained significant damage.
