Officials watching Black Creek in wake of recent rains

MIDDLEBURG – Clay County Emergency Management, along with the National Weather Service, is closely monitoring the South Prong of Black Creek in Middleburg. With the recent consistent rainfall, the South Prong has entered minor flood stage, which caused the Weather Service to issue a flood warning for that area. Unless further significant rainfall is received today, it should crest on the lower end of the scale in minor flood stage.

“This causes no significant impacts for us currently, however if we receive any additional rainfall in the basin today, it could drastically change that crest. We encourage residents to closely monitor the creek and local media for further information,” said John Ward, director of Emergency Management for Clay County.

Ward also urges residents to register for ALERT Clay to receive emergency and weather related messages at ALERT.claycountygov.com.
