Storm Warning and Flood Fallout | Winston–Salem News

A powerful thunderstorm is barreling through southeastern Forsyth and nearby counties, packing winds up to 30 mph that could send debris flying—secure loose items now. Major highways including I-85, I-40, and I-74 may face travel delays as the storm moves northeast at 45 mph until 2:15 AM. Meanwhile, last week’s flooding in Mount Airy left city vehicles damaged in the millions, sparking questions about why flood-prone zones were used for storage. On the bright side, recent downpours—including over six inches in High Point, its wettest day since 1954—have eased drought conditions, though more rain is still needed for full recovery.
