Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeRainfall was moderate to heavy across much of south central and southwest Virginia from May 23-25. Storm total rain amounts ranged widely, from 1 to 6+ inches. Rainfall rates were not particularly high through most of the event but the continuous nature of the rains eventually led to flooding. All of the river flooding was in the minor category and several non-forecast points also rose above flood stage including Dunlap Creek (DLPV2) in Alleghany County, VA, Craig Creek Route 614 (CCIV2) in Craig County, Johns Creek at New Castle (JCRV2), Cowpasture River near Clifton Forge (COWV2), Kerrs Creek near Lexington IFLOWS (KCKV2) and the New River at Allisonia (ALSV2). Despite the fact that the gaged locations indicated mainly minor flooding, several county emergency officials reported many instances of substantially worse flooding. The most significant reports came out of Pulaski, Wythe, Grayson, and Carroll counties in VA.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeThe heavy rains caused the collapse of a roof at a Rocky Mount small manufacturing business. Authorities say the roof collapse was caused by the weight of water from rain that accumulated on the roof. In addition to the roof, the lobby of the business was considered a total loss. The CoCoRaHS site at Rocky Mount 3.1 SE received 2.78 in 24-hours ending 7:00 AM EDT. Several other rain gauges in the area also had over 2 inches.
