 There was massive flooding elsewhere in Virginia, such as along the Maury River, which destroyed the town of Glasgow in Rockbridge County.The James River and its tributaries normally drain Nelson County, but in the face of massive flooding from other tributaries such as Hatt Creek (along the James River some to the east) the James River crested more than above flood stage at Westham, as Nelson County citizens watched portions of houses and other buildings, bodies, and dead livestock flow past.Just a few miles further downstream, the James River crested at the City Locks in Richmond at swamping downtown areas and also flooding a substantial portion of South Richmond (formerly the separate city of Manchester).
