Belews Lake Dam is about 10-15 miles from downtown Madison, NC. The area of the lake itself is larger than Madison and Mayodan together as you can see. In somewhere between 3 and 6 hours the whole town will be inundated. There will be no where to run my friends. The only exits will be to the north...but they will be clogged. By the time people figure out what is going on...sadly it will be too late.
Both graphics below contain side by side images of Belews Lake compared to Madison/Mayodan area. The first graphic is just a smaller scale. The second one shows you more detailed the streets and less of the lake. They are both taken from the same map at the same scale.
