Morgan County preparing for potential flooding from severe storms

13News reporter Samantha Johnson reports winds are picking up in Morgan County.

Sandbags are available to residents at the Morgan County Fairgrounds near Sunrise Street and at the Mooresville Streets Department.

As much as possible, stay out of the roads. Let us have room to do what we need to do. If you see water in the roadway, please dont go through that, Morgan County Highway Supt. Eddie Fisher said. Rivers run right through the middle of every part of the county. Its hard to keep up with this. The water takes quite awhile to get out of the ditches and the creeks when this takes place.

Morgan County Emergency Management Agency shared safety tips ahead of the storms.

A lot of our county is a flood plain, so we do have that increased potential for flooding any time there is a lot of rain, Morgan County EMA director Abby Worth said. If you are in the flood plain area or you know you have home flooding, please make sure to get sandbags ahead of time and make that barrier as best you can.
