Governor Tim Kaine declared a state of emergency Wednesday in Virginia as unrelenting rain from a tropical storm soaked the state.
The declaration mobilizes state agencies to prepare for the threat of flooding.
The National Weather Service forecasts 3 to 8 inches of rain through Friday morning for parts of the state as remnants of hurricane Ida crawl across the state.
A flood watch is posted for central, eastern and southeastern areas farther inland.
