Flood in Botetourt County, Virginia

Flood June 15, 2025 · Botetourt County, Virginia

Where the report was made, with tornadoes recorded within 15 miles over the years.

What the National Weather Service wrote

Runoff from nearly 2.5 inches of rain, which fell at rates of 2 to 3 inches per hour, caused water to pool at the intersection of Old Fincastle Road and Peck Lane, though the road remained passable. No damage was reported.

The wider storm

A stalled frontal boundary located in southern Virginia interacted with a very unstable environment to produce severe thunderstorms in south-central Virginia. The thunderstorm winds from these storms caused tree and power line damage. Moisture was abundant across the area, with precipitable water values observed at between 1.7 and 1.9 inches. Storms were progressive however, and observed moving to the east at 15 to 20 mph, which did not allow them to remain situated over any single location for long.

Began near Fincastle (37.5324, -79.8813).
