That combined with flooding and trees down in other parts of the county prompted officials to close Nelson Public Schools on Thursday - September 26, 2024

Nelson County, Virginia

Heavy rain and thunderstorms moved across the area late Wednesday night and early Thursday morning. As much as 3-5 inches fell in certain parts of the county. The heavy rains on already saturated ground from the past several days caused a big mess in certain places.

Due to the hazardous road conditions Nelson County Public Schools made the decision to close for Thursday.

Part of the road is missing on Rockfish River Road just east of Rock Spring Road. Thursday – September 26, 2024

Heavy rains flooded Greenfield Road just west of Shannon Farm in Greenfield north of Nellysford. Thursday – September 26, 2024

Other parts of the county that experienced flooded roads and other issues included Gladstone and on 29 North in faber near Irish Road (Route 6 East).

More, sometimes heavy, rain is expected on Friday.
