Heavy Rain Causes Flooding and Road Collapse in Ogden, NC
Residents in Ogden, North Carolina, are expressing concerns after heavy rainfall on Sunday night caused significant flooding and worsened damage to a collapsed cut-through road connecting the Ogden and Murrayville communities. The area received approximately 8 inches (203 mm) of rain, turning a small creek into a 'raging river,' according to local resident Witchek. The cut-through had already collapsed two weeks earlier during a storm on August 21, and the recent rainfall has exacerbated the situation. The creek, designated as a 100-year flood zone, has been a recurring source of flooding issues for nearby homes, with water levels rising dangerously close to some foundations. The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) has stated that crews will assess the damage and plan repairs once the water recedes. (Source: WWAYTV3, 2026-09-07 22:09:46 GMT)
