Flood Watch issued October 10 at 1:24AM EDT until October 11 at 8:00PM EDT by NWS Blacksburg VA
* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible. * WHERE...Portions of North Carolina, including the following areas, Alleghany NC, Ashe, Surry, Watauga and Wilkes and southwest Virginia, including the following areas, Carroll, Floyd, Grayson and Patrick. * WHEN...From 11 AM EDT this morning through Sunday evening. * IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Low-water crossings may be flooded. Storm drains and ditches may become clogged with debris. Extensive street flooding and flooding of creeks and rivers are possible. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - Upslope rainfall from a rather strong southeasterly Low level jet from the remnants of Isaias will bring increased precipitation along the crest of the southern Blue Ridge from Floyd county extending southwestward to Watauga county. Widespread rainfall totals of 2-4 inches with locally higher totals in the 5-6 range will be possible, especially for areas like Meadows of Dan, Boone, and Blowing Rock. These higher totals may lead to isolated instances of landslides along slopes that have been modified by humans like embankments or cut slopes. These areas may also see increased rises on local streamflows that may lead to flooding across low-water crossings. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
About
Goose Point Campground occupies a wooded peninsula on Philpott Lake in Patrick County, Virginia. The lake covers 2,900 acres with 100 miles of shoreline, set among steep, rocky banks and mixed forests of oak, maple, hickory, pine, and cedar. Wildlife is abundant: deer, turkeys, squirrels, raccoons, and various songbirds and waterfowl are commonly seen. The campground has 63 sites, 53 of which feature 50-amp electric and water hookups. All sites are back-in with gravel driveways; the longest sites accommodate RVs up to 58 feet, though the access roads are hilly, winding, and narrow, making them challenging for larger rigs. Amenities include flush toilets, hot showers, drinking water, and a dump station. On-site recreation includes a swimming beach, boat ramp, dock, fishing pier, picnic shelter, playground, and amphitheater. Philpott Lake is adjacent to Fairystone State Park and Fairystone Farms Wildlife Management Area, adding over 5,300 acres of public recreational land nearby. Anglers target largemouth and smallmouth bass, walleye, bluegill, crappie, and catfish. Miles of hiking and biking trails surround the lake.
