US · Published Sep 8, 2026
Residents in Ogden, North Carolina, are expressing concerns after heavy rainfall on Sunday night caused significant flooding and worsened damage to a collapsed cut-through road connecting the Ogden and Murrayville communities.
The area received approximately 8 inches (203 mm) of rain, turning a small creek into a 'raging river,' according to local resident Witchek.

Impact & Risks

The flooding poses a significant risk to residents living near the creek, particularly those whose homes are closest to the water. The rising water levels have already reached the foundations of some properties, raising concerns about structural damage and safety. The collapsed roadway has disrupted connectivity between the Ogden and Murrayville communities, creating additional challenges for local transportation. Flash flooding is a recurring issue in the area, and residents fear that without substantial repairs, the problem will persist and potentially worsen during future storms.
