Patrick County Floods Leave Residents Stranded | Winston–Salem News

Patrick County, Virginia, is still reeling from catastrophic flooding two weeks ago—bridges destroyed, homes washed away, and residents stranded with no access to medical help. A key bridge on Kibler Valley Road is completely gone, cutting off cars, deliveries, and emergency services like ambulances. Further down, a mudslide shifted a mobile home five feet and crushed another house, leaving neighbors terrified their own homes would follow. Locals desperately need heavy machinery and licensed operators to begin cleanup—but most volunteers lack the tools or permits. Yet amid the devastation, community support has been a lifeline, and miraculously, no one was seriously injured. Recovery is slow without proper resources, but hope remains as residents await outside aid to rebuild. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
