Flash flooding in Caldwell County Thursday night prompted six swift water rescue teams to respond, with the Collettsville and Patterson fire departments working to rescue residents, including Danni Ferguson, who was caught in the high waters.
Ferguson said she had just moved her SUV to higher ground but she got stuck in the flood waters trying to walk back.
Channel Nine’s Dave Faherty captured video footage of the flooding on Main Street in Lenoir, showing cars submerged in the rising waters. The storm caused significant flooding affecting areas near Blair Creek and Zacks Ford Road.
