The New River is one of the oldest rivers in the world, and it cuts north through Giles County, Virginia on its way toward West Virginia — passing Pembroke, Ripplemead, Narrows, and Glen Lyn along the way. USGS gauge 03176500 at Glen Lyn is the primary flood-stage reading for the county, backed up by tributary gauges on Wolf Creek near Narrows and Walker Creek at Bane. StormCast pulls live readings from all three every 15 minutes and pushes a notification the moment the New River crosses into a new NWS flood category.
