Stoney Creek Flood Update in the Shenandoah Valley

Stoney Creek has gone down, but the debris remains. The tree to the left of each photo is the same tree, but the angles of the photos are different. See additional photos from last week’s flooded Stoney Creek. Click each picture below to see it larger.

Stacey, I hope last night’s storm did not cause you any serious problems. I saw that nearby roads were closed (http://www.nvdaily.com/news/2011/04/_shenandoah_county_declares_local_emergency_tornados_reported-mobile.html). We had no damage on our property but when I drove out to Woodstock I found Kelly Road blocked and Orkney Grade was passable only because crews had cleared a single lane by that time.
We were lucky, too, just some minor wind damage. No downed trees or anything severe. There were a few spots on 42 that were bad, and Pepper Road was blocked for a while yesterday. Glad you all were ok!!
