Very intense storms moving across East and Central Nelson County Tuesday afternoon dropped very heavy flooding rains along with hail in many locations.

Photo By Cliff Oliver: This is Dutch Creek Lane in Shipman. Cliff tells us it is generally only 3-4 feet wide, but flooding rains made it more like a lake Tuesday afternoon – May 7, 2013.

Nelson school students were held at NMS & NCHS until the storms passed before being let on buses to head home.

Many severe thunderstorm warnings along with flood watches and warnings remained in effect late Tuesday.
