Heavy rain triggered flooding and at least three mudslides in southwestern Virginia on Sunday, February 11. More than 30 roads were closed, and a shelter was opened in Wise County for those who had to evacuate their homes, a report said. A stretch of Highway 421 also was shut after a mudslide in Lee County near Stone Creek. Another mudslide was reported on Highway 58 on Powell Mountain, according to a report. The third mudslide was reported in St. Charles. This footage from the Lee County Sheriff’s Office shows flooding near Jonesville and the mudslide on Powell Mountain. https://youtu.be/jySgWIBGmKA But while the heavy rains made a mess for some roads, residents were seen taking advantage of the floodwater.
