FLASH FLOOD WARNING

A while ago I asked Sheriff's Lt. Sean Gerrity for an update on the possible flooding situation. He just replied:

"For a while today, we had a nice break. Right now, there is a string of thunderstorm cells coming in, and a flash flood warning (elevated from a "watch") was issued for our area just after 4:00 PM. It looks like there may be a little rest between some of these cells for a short period, but the weather seems to have more in store for us tonight. I was able to close my command post earlier today, but I am now coming in to open it back up.

Thus far, there has been no visible debris flow activity and thus no related road closures or higher reverse 911 alerts. We are all hoping it stays that way.

Stay dry,

Lt. Gerrity
