Day to day, that means flash flooding along creeks and low-lying roads, damaging winds, winter ice and the cleanup that follows each event. Coverage reaches the city and the communities around it, wherever a weather event crosses the county line. River levels and heavy rain shape much of the local risk, since the city sits in a valley that drains quickly into surrounding waterways. Power outages and road closures are the most common follow-on problems after a major storm.
