The Loudoun County Sheriff's Office is advising motorists to use caution when driving this morning after the area received up to 3" of rain in some parts of the county and is experiencing flooding on several roadways.
Numerous roads are impacted due to high water and others may become flooded as waterways begin to crest.
The Loudoun County Sheriff's Office reminds motorists that if you find yourself driving in potential flash flood conditions, never drive through or walk through a flooded roadway or area. Water may be much deeper than you think causing your car to stall or even get stuck in hidden debris.
Stay away from flooded areas and seek higher ground if you are in an area experiencing flooding. It takes only six inches of fast-moving flood water to knock over an adult and two feet to move a vehicle.
