Flood — Page, VA

Sep 28, 2024

Flood Cause
Heavy Rain

Heavy rain due to tropical moisture and enhanced lift around the Blue Ridge Mountains caused excess water to runoff into the south Fork of the Shenandoah River. This led to flooding around Waynesboro. Additional flooding took place on the east side of the Blue Ridge Mountains across Albemarle County as well as northern Nelson County.
