What the National Weather Service wrote

The entrance to the physical plant offices for the Virginia School for the Deaf and the Blind, on New Hope Road, were closed due to flooding.

The wider storm

Heavy rain event as low pressure moved through the Mid-Atlantic ahead of a slow moving cold front. Southerly flow ahead of the low pressure tapped into a moisture rich atmosphere over the Gulf of Mexico. While thunderstorms were isolated due to weaker shear and instability, the heaviest of the precipitation was able to bring down gusty winds from aloft. This also led to flooding across the region.

Began near Waynesboro (38.1519, -79.0579).
