OT: Huntsville Area Flooding

[Dawgsnsaints]

Anyone being affected by the flooding? I was not aware how bad it was until last night.

The main road out of my neighborhood was closed for a couple of days, and also farther south near Arsenal Gate 7. I think it was all open this morning, but we're having more rain now but it's probably not heavy enough to cause any more problems. But yeah, several spots in the area are flooded pretty badly.

Patton Road is still closed which has created a cluster at Gate 1. I don't expect it to open up until next week.

Yeah, we live in New Hope which is just 15 mins SE of hville and several of the roads heading into Huntsville were closed for a couple days because the Flint, Paint Rock, and Tennessee rivers were all over their banks. I've only been in Hsville area about 5 years and this is most water I've seen since Christmas 2015.

I'll bet the RTJ River Course is almost totally submerged. It doesn't take much to flood that place. TVA is letting a lot of water loose upstream too which won't help the Tennessee River issue.

What he said. Gate 1 sucks.

What he said. Gate 1 sucks.

I have a family member that works on the Arsenal that said She has had to alter her way of going to work. So glad no reports of homes flooding.

It's a really low, swampy area between on Patton Rd south of Martin Rd. I've seen that area flood many times.
