Instruction:
Only when it is safe to do so, please report flooding or landslides
threatening roads or property to the National Weather Service
Greenville-Spartanburg by calling 1...800...2 6 7...8 1 0 1, by
posting on our Facebook page, or by posting on X using hashtag
NWSGSP. Your message should describe the specific location, address,
or intersection where impacts occurred and the depth of flooding
observed.
Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the
dangers of flooding.
The additional heavy rain will increase the risk of landslides and
debris flows, especially in areas where landslides have occurred in
the past. Be especially alert if you live near a stream, particularly
at the base of a mountain or in a cove. Watch for signs that a
landslide may be imminent, including loose-moving soil and rocks or a
sudden increase in streamflow. Stay indoors and do NOT go outside to
investigate. Escape vertically inside your home by moving upstairs or
getting on top of counters to avoid being swept away.
