Flash flooding struck areas along U. S. 33-119 (Arnoldsburg Road) from the Calhoun-Roane line to Spencer late Wednesday night. Water had the main highway blocked in several places shortly after midnight Thursday morning. A severe thunderstorm swept through the area, causing flooding in several houses and covering parked vehicles. Firemen reported a leaking holding tank near the Roane-Calhoun line. Flooding was reported on Slate Run, Bogg's Fork and Laurel Run (Rt. 33-119). The Spencer Volunteer Fire Department was answering numerous 911 calls for assistance.
