Mike Moore Media. The first place to hear Rockingham County News and information. News is sponsored by Dyer's Plumbing. If you haven't seen my exclusive Facebook post about Tuesday night's water rescues in Reedsville, here's a summary. First around 815 at Wolf Island Road and Wake Forest Drive, the Rockingham County Swiftwater Rescue Team unable to use an inflatable raft because the water was flowing too fast, deployed a motor-powered boat with three first responders and rescued two people on top of a vehicle that had washed into a cornfield. Then around 1145 at Oregon Hill Road and Aspen Road, the driver said he ran up on high water before he realized it. A fire truck from the Oregon Hill Department was used to rescue him. Both of those areas are prone to flooding. 911 received 355 calls, double the usual night shift between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. Wednesday with 198 dispatch for service. The majority storm related involving many agencies. Mike Moore Media was the first to post photos of a significant washout on Missouri Lane off NC 704 near the Rockingham Stokes County line. It's a dead-in private property, not state-maintained and has 11 residents. No vehicles can get in or out. Over two dozen Facebook comments on that, including several people living on Missouri Lane, concerned no emergency vehicles can come in if needed. I ask people to post rainfall amounts on our Facebook page where they live and great response on that reads well five inches rain gauge overflow eight inches a Cortland Park resident had 11 inches Madison made in four to eight point five and five and a half inches gauge overflow also reports of six to ten inches summer field 11 inches spray three highway 704 east of Madison 7.5 May it end 10.39 for a total rough at 1.5 stoneville 5 plus rain gauge overflow Eden four inches three and a half inches price road Eden thanks everyone for your help with this story sharing rainfall amounts and photos rain gauges flooded driveways and boat ramp at Pine Hall now positive news about positive people Rockingham County Commissioner for 15 years Keith Duncan has received the prestigious order of the longleaf pine one of the highest honors grated by the governor to individuals who have made significant contributions to the state in their communities through exemplary service and accomplishments.
