Frequently asked questions
1985 was a river flood. Why do hillside houses still show up after June storms?
Because 1985 was the river, and June cells are also the hill. A house cut into the valley wall takes seepage from the slope whether or not the Roanoke left its banks. The flood marks are a floodplain story. The wet uphill wall is a cut-slope story. They share a month. They do not share a source.
It barely rained in town and the river crested. Where did that come from?
The mountains. A Blue Ridge crest is generated on rain you never saw, so the river rises on weather that happened elsewhere. When a local June cell lands at the same time, the mill blocks take both.
The coal cellar has been dry for years and then June stained it. Why now?
Coal cellars were not detailed as dry space. A few wet Junes in a row, a clogged leader, or a regrade uphill can turn a room that 'has always been fine' into a wet one. The assembly did not suddenly fail. The load crossed a line the original drain, if any, cannot pass.
