They received EXTENSIVE damage at Dogpatch. The covered bridge washed away

They did have the crafts fair there this weekend though. Tinman has a number of photos on his Facebook page of the Dogpatch crafts fair and apparently they had a really good turnout for it.

It wasn't really extensive per se. It was a mess, but the only permanent loss was the covered bridge which finally completely gave out after who knows how many floods. The big bridge/concession stand just down from it is fine at the moment, though I worry that it will be next in line to get hit...
A lot of the mess was cleaned up before the craft fair thanks in part to the atomic falls people who are having an event out there memorial day weekend. The usual dogpatch crew did a lot as well, per usual. The fair was a big success and seemed to go off without much of a hitch. Parking sucked, but until someone rebuilds the tram down the mountain that is just how the place is built.
Back to the topic at hand though, I hope the Mill didn't get destroyed at Dogwood. That place is incredible, and it doesn't seem like it was designed well for flooding. I'm sure they have the money to clean it back up though.
