The outer bands and remnants of Hurricane Helene contributed to a total of 9 inches of rain dropped on the area in September.Â
John Savage said his grandparents were found hugging one another in the bed, adding that the family thinks it was God's plan to take them together, rather than one suffer without the other.
Donations will be accepted day or night in the parking lot of the Augusta County Government Center in Verona.
The Daily Progress has a full list of road closures in the region as well as school district plans and advisories from state officials.
Widespread devastation left behind by Hurricane Helene came to light Monday across the South, revealing a wasteland of splintered houses, crushed cargo containers and mud-covered highways.Â
Review road closures in Albemarle, Greene, Madison, Nelson and Orange counties.
Besides the destruction in downtown, floodwaters impacted homes and businesses on the outskirts of Damascus.
Homes and businesses in Damascus, Virginia, were decimated by floodwaters caused by Tropical Storm Helene.
Albemarle County could not say when the damage could be repaired and the park reopened.
Now a post-tropical cyclone, the storm was expected to hover over the Tennessee Valley on Saturday and Sunday, the National Hurricane Center said.
The valley was hit especially hard by the outer bands of the hurricane. Thousands were still without power, roadways were closed and many had not returned home Saturday morning.
Hurricane Helene left an enormous path of destruction across the southeastern U.S. on Friday, snapping trees like twigs, tearing apart homes and sending rescue crews on desperate missions.
