What drying runs into in Roanoke
Serving Roanoke and the surrounding area, including Rugby, West End, Northside, Melrose, Shadeland, Lincoln Court, Heritage Acres, Meadowland.
Local housing stock
Only 15.5 percent of Roanoke's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1958 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1958 with more than eight in ten houses older, the corridor along the watercourse through town was kept as a linear park rather than developed, and the neighborhoods run right up to its edge.
Climate & seasonal risk
3 months in Roanoke have normal lows below freezing, January the coldest at 28.7 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in June at 4.66 inches of an annual 42.82; both figures recorded at ROANOKE RGNL AP, 2.8 miles away. June is the wettest month at 4.66 inches of a 43-inch year and three months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain lands in early summer; a corridor kept open for that reason is doing its job when it is under water.
How water losses tend to end in Roanoke
- Open land that is a flood route, so its pleasantness disguises what it is for
- Houses immediately beyond the edge, so the boundary of the corridor matters greatly
- A path and structures within it, so debris is added to what the creek is carrying
