Показать описание
Mandatory evacuation orders are in place for residents on Mountain Island Lake due to a flash flood emergency caused by potentially historic flooding from Helene.
The Charlotte Fire Department announced mandatory evacuations for the areas of Riverside Drive, Lake Drive, Riverhaven Drive and parts of Beaglue Club Road and Hart Road near Mountain Island Lake. Floodwaters are rising as heavy rain moves into the Charlotte region.
A shelter is open at 4820 Tuckaseegee Road in Charlotte. Meteorologist Chris Mulcahy said an isolated flash flood emergency like this is very rare.
"It's getting worse and worse and they're expecting a record crest of 110 feet," Mulcahy said.
For perspective, Mountain Island Lake is normally 96 feet in elevation with a maximum of 100 feet. The Catawba River has already reached 103.15 feet at the Mountain Island Dam, which is the sixth-highest level. #Weather #forecast #Helene
