Due to continued rain throughout Christmas day and into the night, Chattooga County residents and officials were put on high alert. This morning that concern is decreasing as the rain is seeming to let up and spots on the Chattooga river are showing less signs of major flooding. It was posted on The Summerville News Facebook page earlier this morning that Trion Police Chief Jason Kellett said that the Chattooga will not go over the Trion levee, and is, in fact, looking like it's going down. Low-level backroads that tend to have the most flooding have already been barricaded by Chattooga County authorities (i.e. Rocky Hollow, Talieferro Springs, Lyerly Dam, Butler Dairy, Halls Valley, etc.). Although most in-passable areas have been barricaded off, drivers are still encouraged to use extreme caution while on the road today.
