Flooding at Sulpher Creek RD Bridge 2011-03-01 - McGaha, District 1, Adair Co., KY - Photo by Sharon Whitehurst. Sulphur Creek again at the Sulpher Creek RD bridge near Rollin Kerns RD, at green road sign in center of photo, in the McGaha community of Northeast Adair Co., KY, was just inches below the bridge, when Sharon Whitehurst photographed the torrent. The bridge is newly built, by the Adair County Highway Department in he summer of 2010. It's the newest Adair County Bridge, with improved bridge floor drainage and raised steel guardrails which, apparently are limiting puddling on the surface. Wing walls, fills, and sod seem to be holding well, too. Awareness of the dangers of flashflooding saves lives, and is main reason Sharon Whitehurst recorded the very frequent occurrence in Adair County's narrow valleys.
