November 2015FloodBeemont2 hurtBetween 3 and 5 inches of rain fell over two days in Franklin County. This caused streams, creeks and low water crossings to flood. Two teenagers drove into a flooded roadway on Kriete Creek Road, south of Gerald, and became stranded in floodwater from Red Oak Creek, west of a bridge. The teens climbed to the roof of the vehicle. A rescue team retrieved them from the vehicle by boat. They only had minor injuries.
