Remembering the 2016 Alleghany County flood this Flood Awareness Week
ALLEGHANY COUNTY, Va. โ Itโs the third annual Flood Awareness Week in Virginia and our corner of the Commonwealth is no stranger to the risks from rising and rushing water. โVirginia has diverse terrain and flooding impacts all parts of the state in variable ways,โ Angela Davis said. One of the most significant recent floods in our area happened in June 2016, when the western part of Alleghany County received eight to ten inches of rain in a 12-hour period. โIt was a deluge of water that came into Alleghany County and the water levels jumped very fast,โ Alleghany County Director of Public Safety Ryan Muterspaugh said. We met Muterspaugh at Humpback Bridge, which runs over Dunlap Creek in western Alleghany County, last month and he painted the picture of what he saw that day with his words.
