Residents in Gallia and Mason Counties, including Point Pleasant, Gallipolis, Henderson, Gallipolis Ferry, and Ashton, should exercise caution due to a Special Weather Statement issued by the National Weather Service (NWS) Charleston WV. The NWS warns of heavy rain that may cause ponding on roadways and flooding in low-lying areas.
This statement is effective immediately, as of 6:35 PM EDT on October 11, and will remain in effect until 7:30 PM EDT tonight. The primary concern is road safety and potential localized flooding.
Actionable information: Do not drive your vehicle into areas where water covers the roadway. The water depth may be too great to allow your car to cross safely. If you encounter flooded areas, move to higher ground immediately.
