Flooding of late June 1995 over the Shenandoah Valley, Potomac Highlands, and Virginia piedmont : an assessment of operations at WSFO Sterling

Severe flash flooding, and in some cases record river flooding, occurred across portions of westcentral Virginia during the week of June 25, 1995. Lesser, but still substantial, flooding occurred over the Potomac Highlands of Maryland and West Virginia. Outside of remnant tropical-storm flood events, this case may be recorded as a one-in-50 year event for portions of the Shenandoah Valley, the central Virginia piedmont, and the Potomac Highlands. However, in Madison County and along the Rapidan, it is figured to be a 500 year flood.
