Brevard issued flash flood warning Tuesday
By Chantel Azevedo

Anywhere it rains, it can flood. Flooding
can happen anywhere, but certain areas are
especially prone to serious flooding, such as
Brevard since we are located in a temperate
rainforest.
Just because you haven’t experienced a flood
in the past doesn’t mean you won’t in the future.
Flood risk isn’t just based on history; it is based
on a number of factors including rainfall, river-
flow and tidal-surge data, topography, flood-
control measures, and changes due to building
and development.
According to Weather.com, on Nov. 30,
Brevard, which is located in Transylvania
County, was given a flash flood warning that
lasted until 1:15 a.m. At around 9:00 p.m. that
night, the National Weather Service Doppler
radar continued to indicate very heavy rain
falling across the warning area. Flooding
was becoming widespread over much of
Transylvania and southern Henderson counties.

Stream gauges and local officials reported Mud
Creek, the Little River, the Davidson River, and
the headwaters of the French Broad River were
overflowing their banks.
The forecast flooding increased from minor to
moderate severity. The Flood Warning continued
for the river stage for the French Broad River
at Blantyre. It was 16.3 feet and the flood
stage was at 16 feet. The forecast of the river
was to be of a continuous rising above flood
stage Tuesday night and Wednesday, which
would crest to around 19 feet around midnight
Wednesday night.
The river was said to fall below flood stage
by early this Friday morning. The impact of
the river has been steadied at 19 feet. Flooding
at this level will be similar to flooding that
occurred on Jan. 26 of this year.
