Gladstone
Nelson County, Virginia

It’s been a tough couple of days for people living in Nelson and the rescue crews taking care of us. Things are slowly getting back to normal today as much of the flood waters from Monday have started going down, but many locations, especially near the James River, have one more day to be a bit tense.

The Gladstone Volunteer Fire Department was setting up hoses to begin pumping water from the street. The water came up to the front steps of most homes, but didn't enter them.
