On October 19^th, we were a host location (one of several in the region) at Floyd Community Amateur Radio Station to a Simulated Emergency Test held from 9am until noon.   The test emulated weather conditions that occurred during the Flood of 85 which was a result of Hurricane Juan and a low pressure system that combined.  The ground had been saturated by four days of rainfall prior to the arrival of the major rainfall.  The hardest hit areas were the Roanoke Valley and surrounding areas.  This deluge brought record flooding in Roanoke and Lynchburg VA. The main purpose of the exercise was to test the ability to provide radio communications to agencies that would be responding to an event of this magnitude.
