Why Townsend Sees This So Often
Mountain runoff and the Little River produce dramatic flash flood events with little warning. Vacation rentals and second homes face additional risk because damage often goes undetected for days or weeks between guest stays. Cabins built into hillsides are prone to slope failures and below-grade water intrusion after heavy rain.
