DINWIDDIE COUNTY, Va. -- The recent rain seemingly stalled over southern Dinwiddie County, dumping four inches in about an hour.
LuAnn Shultz let her four-year-old daughter gaze out at Stoney Creek.
"This is as high as its been this summer," she said
LuAnn and her family live directly across from the usually slow-moving creek, but recent rains and a massive downpour Sunday has Stoney Creek ready to overflow its banks.
"Probably this road will shut down in the next 24 hours if we keep getting this much rain," says LuAnn, who plans on keeping a close eye on the situation.
Less than a mile away, the creek had overflowed and flooded a road which caught several drivers off guard, because of how quickly it happened.
"I came through at quarter to seven this morning and there was no water there," says Postal Carrier Lisa Irby.
Linda Pegram left home going the same way her brother-in-law had come an hour before.
"He came through about 10:30, there wasnothingg on the road," she said, and added she knows she will have to go a different way the next couple of days.
The deluge caused water to flow over the dam from one of the ponds on Debbie Clay's property.
"The closest we've ever seen was in 1999 when Hurricane Floyd came around and the ponds did overflow, but I tell you what, on this particular spell, the small pond on that side came over the dam, where it did not in Hurricane Floyd."
