Flooding was sudden and severe last evening in Garrett County and the surrounding area, with more than two inches of rain falling in the late afternoon in heavy downpours that caused drainage overflows, flash-flooding, and probably thousands of wet basements.

This photo was taken in Terra Alta, W.Va., by Matthew Friend of Oakland as he traveled through that town late yesterday afternoon. Several roads were closed at the peak of the storm, and some remained closed this morning in the southern part of the county, including Smouse Road. Debris covered most roadways this morning as well. The weather continues to be quite uncharacteristic for Garrett County, with warm temperatures and even thunder and lightning with yesterday’s Leap Day storm. Snow, a rare event this year, is predicted to fall Sunday, but the temperatures are to go back up Monday.
