We continue to watch the water levels of the Catawba River and especially our lakes this evening. One gate is open at Oxford Dam (Lake Hickory) at 16 feet. The very unofficial “CatCoEM Weather Station” recorded 3.61 inches of rain for this rain event. Looking forward to seeing the sun come out tomorrow! #catcowx #ncwx #flooding Catawba County, North Carolina ... See MoreSee Less
