Surry County Rises After Historic Flood | Winston–Salem News

Surry County braces for recovery after a historic storm dumped nine inches of rain, triggering floods that swelled the Ararat River to nearly 29 feet—its highest in nearly half a century. Government vehicles, including a DMV building, were lost, but resilience shone through as business owners and neighbors from Asheboro and High Point rushed to help. With no lives lost, officials urge residents to report damage via the county website and invite them to “Mount Airy Rocks,” a community cleanup event tonight to clear flood debris from a local soccer field. Together, they’re rebuilding—one rock, one vehicle, one act of kindness at a time. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
