CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) -- A Chesterfield County apartment complex was surrounded by floodwaters Tuesday night after heavy rainfall caused flooding throughout Central Virginia.

Over the past few weeks, Central Virginia has seen a significant amount of rain as severe storms roll through the region. This has caused flash flooding in many localities, including Chesterfield County.

Following another round of storms the night of Tuesday, July 15, areas like Starview Court saw severe flooding, with floodwaters practically turning the area around the Cloverleaf Lake Apartments into a lake.

This area is prone to flooding when it rains, according to Chesterfield County Fire and EMS.

Fire officials said these floodwaters are already starting to recede as of the time of reporting.

Officials issue safety reminders as roads remain flooded across Central Virginia

As of 9:15 p.m. Tuesday, the only remaining high-water road closure in Chesterfield is Winterpock Road at Bethia Road.

If you come upon a flooded roadway, remember: "Turn around, don't drown." No matter how shallow floodwaters may appear, it is never safe to drive through them.
