Bear Pen Creek Road was flooded, with portions of the road potentially washed out.

Wider weather episode

The month of January rounded out with minor flooding issues in southwest Virginia as a low pressure system pressed through the area on the 31st. This disturbance brought ample moisture to the region, which helped produce over an inch and a half of rainfall to Dickenson and Buchanan Counties as a result. Local roads in the counties took the brunt of the impacts from the rain, leading to impassable travel impacts for a period of time until waters receded. Rain quickly pushed northeastward out of the area later on in the evening.
