| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Late afternoon thunderstorms developed along the southwest Virginia Blue Ridge and drifted southward into the foothills and piedmont producing intense rainfall over fairly saturated ground and causing some significant flash flooding and debris flows in parts of Franklin, Floyd and Henry counties. Rainfall of 2 to 4 inches with isolated higher amounts occurred in a few hours, with the heaviest over northern Henry County. A state of Emergency was declared in Henry County due to the flooding. Flood damage estimates exceeded $1.1 million with eight homes and one business receiving major damage. The storms also reached severe levels in terms of wind with considerable damage reported, mainly across Henry County. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | A debris flow damaged the power house at Philpott Dam knocking out power to the dam and causing some damage. According to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers which operates Philpott, the timing of the landslide is not exact but the power to the plant tripped at 6:43 PM EDT on May 24, 2020. The slide may have started slowly a little before that time but the mass damaging slide would have been around the time of power failure. The slide occurred in the utility right of way cleared land area that goes up from the powerhouse transformer and switch yard up the hill on the AEP grid system on the Henry County side of the Dam. |
