The Virginia State Police are on scene at several locations across Loudoun County, where flooding and overflowing creeks continue to close roads Tuesday.

On Tuesday morning, the agency detailed its efforts throughout the storm in a post on its Facebook page.

"Statewide between 12:01 a.m. Sunday (Oct. 28, 2012) and 10 a.m. Tuesday (Oct. 30, 2012), Virginia troopers responded to 583 traffic crashes and 690 disabled vehicles," the post read.

In Division VII, which includes Loudoun, Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax and Prince William Counties, officers responded  to 82 traffic crashes, 125 disabled vehicles and 1,0001 calls for service.

  • Oatlands Road @ Route 15 James Monroe Highway
  • Goose Creek under Route 15
  • Route 15 James Monroe Highway (Goose Creek flooding over Rt 15, just south of Lime Kiln Road)
