Overnight Rains Cause Local Flooding

We had some pretty good storms last night near downtown Murphy! Was awoken around 3:15 a.m. to the house shaking from thunder! It was a doozy! More lightning and thunder during the night, and another one shook the house again around 6:00 a.m. Rained throughout the morning, but has finally subsided some. More rain is expected today, tonight, and into tomorrow. Forecast is that Saturday we will get a break before it rains again for several more days. Went for a drive this morning and took some videos and some pics of localized flooding. There's even a pic of a waterfall that happens only when we get a good amount of rain. It's on Highway 64 (river road) when heading from downtown towards the hospital. Enjoy!






This is the Hiwassee River near the fire department.

This was taken downtown (Hiwassee River) by the L&N Depot.

Here's the waterfall on Hwy 64.
