Worth knowing

Flash flooding off the hills

Runoff pours off the steep streets and Leatherwood Creek can overflow fast in heavy rain — North Main has flooded in past storms, which is why the town built its streets up on stone walls. Don't drive through water across a low road, even shallow-looking water.
