In preparation for Hanna's arrival, residents are securing their homes and officials with Headwaters Soil and Water Conservation are checking area flood dams.

With rainwater expected to accumulate from Hanna Saturday, rivers and streams may start to overflow, but officials say the Augusta County flood dams will hold.

John Kaylor of the Headwaters Soil and Water Conservation says his agency has been checking and rechecking equipment such as special gauges on the dam to make sure they are secure in case of a large rainfall.

Kaylor explains, "Those gauges have already been serviced and calibrated at least once this year. They may have already been calibrated for the second time. They all were cleaned earlier in the hurricane season."

He says he's not expecting any major flooding Saturday, but there is always a plan in place in case of unexpected flooding.

Kaylor says, "The emergency action plan is a list of businesses and residents downstream who would be evacuated if that need came about."

Waynesboro resident Andrew Shifflett is used to seeing water accumulate on his street. His main concern this weekend is making sure falling debris doesn't aid the flooding.

Shifflett says, "The water does get up to the yard a little bit, but that's not a major problem because it just throws a little debris up into the yard, but the real problem is making sure the culvert is open."

He says he stays on top of his yard because you never know when Waynesboro may flood.

Shifflett adds, "Well, occasionally I'll just go down there and check and if there's a little bit of debris, I'll just take it out."

Kaylor says while he thinks we'll be alright as far as rainfall for Tropical Storm Hanna, he's now got his eye on the latest storm brewing in the Atlantic, Hurricane Ike.
