| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A complex, broken line of thunderstorms developed during the afternoon ahead of an approaching cold front producing very heavy rainfall and some embedded severe storms. Trees were blown trees onto power lines, which caused a number of power outages. Henry County and the city of Martinsville suffered the most tree damage and power outages. Rainfall was extremely intense within the very moist environment with precipitable water over 2 inches and several boundary collisions enhancing the rainfall. The highest amounts occurred in the City of Lynchburg and adjacent parts of Campbell County where radar estimated 4 to 6 inches of rain in several hours which was confirmed by several rain gages. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | A CoCoRaHS station at Lynchburg 2.5 NNW (VA-LYC-1) measured 6.00 inches for the 24-hour period ending at 800 AM EST on the 3rd. According to local mesonet stations and NWS radar most of the rain fell during intense storms over about a 3-hour period between 500 and 800 PM on August 2nd. For a 24-hour period this is roughly a 25-year rain event (.04 annual exceedance probability) but much more extreme (near 1000-year event) for the approximately 3-hour duration of the rain. |
