The conditions are not any better out in the county. The Lincoln County Sheriff's Office reported several roads flooded and closed like this gravel road in rural Lincoln County.

The area is under a Flash Flood Warning, as heavy rain has already fallen, and additional rain is expected to increase water levels and cause flooding.
