Rain pours as water surrounds houses on Barnes Run
Grantsville VFD members respond to
check-out problem at Richard's residence
Around two inches of rain fell on Calhoun earlier Tuesday causing local streams to quickly rise with some local
flooding.
The Grantsville VFD responded to the Richard's place on Barnes Run near Hur, where water surrounded the dwelling and
threatened to enter the house.
Water poured off hillsides causing local creeks to rise in many narrow Calhoun hollows.
At least two bus runs departed from Calhoun Middle/High School early because of possible closed roads. School was
dismissed in Roane County.
Radar indicates heavy rain could be headed toward the region later today.
"It is the highest water for Barnes Run in several years," residents said
