In Albemarle County, Virginia, officials reported the recovery of a 12-year-old boy's body who was swept away by floodwaters during a strong storm on Tuesday. Flash Flood Emergencies were declared in Virginia and Maryland, as torrential rains and severe weather caused extensive flooding, prompting multiple rescues. The storm resulted in heavy rain accumulation, creating hazardous conditions with life-threatening flash floods. Local emergency services, including fire rescue teams, responded quickly, reporting widespread flooding impacting urban areas, highways, and schools, leading to evacuations and road closures in affected regions.
This is a heartbreaking outcome," said ACFR Chief Dan Eggleston on Wednesday.
We are currently in an active evacuation mode for our areas downtown," Westernport Mayor Judy S. Hamilton told FOX Weather Tuesday afternoon.
