— NEMOURS — Flood waters receded Sunday, and the Bluestone River was back inside its banks in eastern Tazewell County, Va., and along River Road from Bramwell to Montcalm people were cleaning up debris from their yards and homes. “This flood came upon us a lot faster than the flood we had here about five years ago,” Eddie Godfrey said as he worked to put his home in Nemours back in order. His sons were reassembling a stack of firewood and a neighbor used a pressure washer to clean mud off the fence in front of the Godfrey home while Godfrey cleared debris from his home about 40 feet from the banks of the Bluestone. “If you don’t clean the mud right after it floods, it sets up like concrete and it’s hard to get off of anything,” Godfrey said. “Besides, if you have kids, they’ll find a way to track mud into the house.” The National Weather Service in Blacksburg, Va., has rain changing to snow in the forecast for early Monday morning.
