Flood in Henrico County, Virginia

Four inches of rain fell within five hours in eastern Henrico county causing flooding of roadways and poor drainage areas. This heavy rainfall combined with a 5-foot-deep drainage ditch filled with water contributed to the death and injury of two Richmond sisters. Near the intersection of Yeadon Road and Barrington Road, their vehicle ran into water 2 feet deep. Water seeped inside the vehicle then rushing floodwaters swept them off the road and into the drainage ditch. The vehicle then flipped over onto its top and became submerged.
