Property damage: $3,000
Reported by: NEWSPAPER
Coordinates: 36.699, -77.014 (the zone’s center; the record gives no point)

Swollen by two weeks of heavy rain, the Nottoway and Blackwater Rivers overflowed their banks. A small boathouse next to the Blackwater River on Burdette Road was flooded and inaccessible. Several county roads were closed due to high water including: Route 653 from Route 719 to Cary's Bridge, Route 619 at the intersection of Route 629, Route 614 from Route 622 to the Isle of Wight county line, and Route 651 (Indian Town Road) from Route 35 at Hancock Peanut to Route 652.

What these are

Flood: Flooding that develops more slowly than a flash flood: rivers leaving their banks, or water standing over land for an extended time.

After NWS Directive 10-1605, the rules offices file Storm Data by.
