Dozens Of Apartments, Cars Damaged By Floodwaters In Boone, North Carolina

Flash flooding in Boone caused major damage to units in at least three different apartment complexes along Cedar Creek near Meadowview. The area is between the Boone Mall and the Walmart shopping areas. Dozens of cars at the units and at Walmart were inundated by the water. Wes Berry was driving near a bank there when all of sudden he says the water started rising. He tried to drive out of it, he says. “A wall of water came over the hood and it stalled,” berry said. He was able to escape on his own as did many others. Boone fire teams, though, did have to pull more than a dozen people to safety.
