Authorities say that Nelson County suffered relatively minor damage from last night’s storms. The county was under severe thunderstorm and tornado warnings for a time late last night.

Nelson County Emergency Management Director Brad Metcalf says that anyone who has any issues with downed trees should let officials know.

With the severe threat out of the way, Metcalf says that officials are now looking at the flooding potential in the county.

“Now we transition into flood watch,” said Metcalf. “Sandbag preparation has started in New Haven and Boston and as the rainfall increases, we will take additional measures as needed.”

Significant rainfall from last night’s storms and the next few days could result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Forecasters say that this is expected to be a high-end event with life-threatening flooding. Major flash flooding and river flooding will be possible.

Drivers should not attempt to drive through any flooded roadways. Most flood related deaths are vehicle related.
