 Hello everyone, this is EKB news reporter Shelby Porter here. I'm currently in front of Belfry Elementary School here in Toler. As you can tell the creek behind me is very high There isn't water in front of the school However, for those familiar with the area of the old velocity market, there is a little bit of water in the roadway But not as much as usual at last check the river was at 32 feet And again, like I said earlier the flood stages 38 They are planning to close the floodgates when the water reaches 35 or 36 feet so as of right now officials are on standby to Look at the weather and see what it's doing The river is currently rising earlier at When I did my first live report. It was around 11 the water had crested to 29.75 and right now it's at 32 So like I said, it is rising even though it is not raining anymore The rain is expected to pick back up I think around three or four this afternoon So we will continue to keep a watch on it and keep you updated us as we can as you can tell behind me Like I said the creek beside Belfry Elementary is very high There's not water in the road in front of the school However, in front of the old velocity market, there is some standing water in the road So be very careful. Please. Please. Please. I cannot say this enough. Do not drive through water You do not know how the road condition underneath the water is and so please do not drive through the water please do not try to Go through it in any way and for the areas that are prone to having water on the roadways It's likely that there is water on that part of the road. So please be careful Please, you know do not drive through the water I cannot stress that enough the water the river here on in tug fork is at 32 at last check The flood stage is 38 so once the water reaches around 35 or 36 feet they will close the floodgates in South Williamson So just stay tuned to the EKB news Facebook page EKB TV and the radio stations of East Kentucky broadcasting and we will up update you with information as it becomes available
