Dan River flooding status in Riverdale at 10:30am

As of 10:30 this morning, the Dan River was still rising, had flooded Riverdale, and was expected to continue to rise until late this evening.  According to the National Weather Service, the river was at 25.6 feet at 8am today and is forecast to crest near 26.8 feet; flood stage is 19 feet.

These photos were taken at 10:30 am;  I ran into Bunny Propst, owner of Riverdale Auto Sales, as she was there monitoring the flood's encroachment on her business.  Bunny had just heard an update that the waters might rise only 6 more inches, and is keeping her fingers crossed that's correct.   The sheds below are on the back of her property, and the water was also rising from the other side of the road.  Click the thumbnails for larger images.
