We are being affected by the remnants of Ida/the coaster Nor’easter too. Lots of road closings and Franklin County schools are closed today. We’ve had 6.91 inches of rain in the last two days at our house (I have a weather station but I had to go out and double check with the stationary rain gauge to make sure what I was seeing was correct!). The lake is rising rapidly…here is a site to check the lake level…it is updated every hour (try to ignore the webmaster’s own guidelines!)….www.smithmountainlakelevel.com/SMLLevelWeb.exe. The weather service is predicting record flooding in Danville. AEP has put out a press release to say that they are moderating releases at the dam.
If you want visuals…channel 7’s weatherbug cameras are collected on this page www.wdbj7.com/Global/category.asp?C=168381…click on the one for Bernard’s Landing and look at the lake level with regard to the stationary docks…
Everybody stay safe!
