Flash flood warning in a droughtPosted Aug31, 2007 at 10:38 PMSlow moving showers and thunderstorms have been pouring rain off and on for hours roughly along the Blue Ridge from Rockbridge County south into the Roanoke Valley. A flash flood warning has been issued for parts of Roanoke city, Roanoke County and Bedford County until 2:30 a.m. as ongoing heavy rain has created the potential for localized flooding in these areas. That's right -- a flash flood warning in the middle of a drought. Welcome rain, but maybe a little too much at once.
