Flash Flood Warning
National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC
339 AM EDT Fri Sep 27 2024
The National Weather Service in Greenville-Spartanburg has issued a
* Flash Flood Warning for...
Oconee County in upstate South Carolina...
Pickens County in upstate South Carolina...
* Until 730 AM EDT.
* At 339 AM EDT, Doppler radar indicated heavy rain across Pickens
and Oconee Counties. Between 3 and 6 inches of rain have fallen.
The expected rainfall rate is 0.5 to 1 inch in 1 hour. Additional
rainfall amounts of 1 to 3 inches are possible as tropical
rainbands lift north. Significant flooding appears likely across
much of the warned area, with numerous road closures and water
rescues likely, damage to even well-built structures, and standing
in low-lying areas.
HAZARD...Life threatening flash flooding. Heavy rain producing
flash flooding.
SOURCE...Radar.
IMPACT...Life threatening flash flooding of creeks and streams,
urban areas, highways, streets and underpasses.
* Some locations that will experience flash flooding include...
Easley, Clemson, Seneca, Walhalla, Pickens, West Greenville,
Welcome, Central, Pendleton, Liberty, Westminster, Gumlog, Norris,
Six Mile, Tallulah Falls, Salem, Lake Keowee, Keowee Toxaway State
Park, Devils Fork State Park and Lake Jocassee.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
Heavy rain is significantly increasing the risk of landslides,
especially in areas where slides have occurred in the past. Slides
can destroy single homes and other structures and large sections of
roads. If you are in the warned area, you should not travel, except
to move away from flash flood or landslide dangers. If you are in
the vicinity of a stream near the heavy rainfall, especially on a
mountainside, or at the base of a mountain or in a cove, move
immediately to a safer location.
Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the
dangers of flooding.
In hilly terrain there are hundreds of low water crossings which are
potentially dangerous in heavy rain. Do not attempt to cross flooded
roads. Find an alternate route.

...FLASH FLOOD EMERGENCY FOR PICKENS AND OCONEE COUNTIES...
...FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 430 PM EDT THIS
AFTERNOON FOR OCONEE AND PICKENS COUNTIES...
At 801 AM EDT, emergency management reported hundreds of trees down
preventing rescue operations. Shelter in place and do not travel
unless fleeing floodwaters. Significant flooding is ongoing in
multiple locations, resulting in road closures, first-floor
inundation, and damage to some structures. The risk of
life-threatening landslide activity continues to increase in the
South Carolina mountains. Between 5 and 8 inches of rain have
fallen. The expected rainfall rate is 1.5 to 2.5 inches in 1 hour.
In addition, dam releases from Keowee Hydro Station will result in
imminent, sudden increases in river stage height. Brown Bottom Road
in particular may be affected, but other nearby locations will see
impacts as well.
This is a FLASH FLOOD EMERGENCY for Pickens and Oconee Counties.
This is a PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. SEEK HIGHER GROUND NOW!
HAZARD...Life threatening flash flooding. Heavy rain producing
flash flooding.
SOURCE...Emergency management reported.
IMPACT...Life threatening flash flooding of creeks and streams,
urban areas, highways, streets and underpasses.
Extensive flooding of homes and businesses.
Widespread road closures. Widespread life-threatening
landslide activity.
Some locations that will experience flash flooding include...
Easley, Clemson, Seneca, Walhalla, Pickens, West Greenville,
Welcome, Central, Pendleton, Liberty, Westminster, Gumlog, Norris,
Six Mile, Tallulah Falls, Salem, Lake Keowee, Keowee Toxaway State
Park, Devils Fork State Park and Lake Jocassee.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
Move to higher ground now! This is an extremely dangerous and
life-threatening situation. Do not attempt to travel unless you are
fleeing an area subject to flooding or under an evacuation order.
Heavy rain is significantly increasing the risk of landslides,
especially in areas where slides have occurred in the past. Slides
can destroy single homes and other structures and large sections of
roads. If you are in the warned area, you should not travel, except
to move away from flash flood or landslide dangers. If you are in
the vicinity of a stream near the heavy rainfall, especially on a
mountainside, or at the base of a mountain or in a cove, move
immediately to a safer location.
Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood
deaths occur in vehicles.
In hilly terrain there are hundreds of low water crossings which are
potentially dangerous in heavy rain. Do not attempt to cross flooded
roads. Find an alternate route.
