GILES COUNTY, Va. – Due to the impacts of Helene, large portions of Giles County have flooded to a dangerous extent.
We have received reports of the New River cresting at 24.2 feet, so areas impacted are advised to be cautious when traveling. The water levels are receding, but they are still dangerously high.

We have some photos taken around Goodwins Ferry Road, which travels alongside the path of the New River, as well as images from Narrows.
Giles County has also said that the Riverview Baptist Church will be offering food and charging stations for those impacted. They have also said that anyone in need of an overnight shelter should call 540-921-3842.
Giles County Sheriff’s Office has said they will be releasing a statement soon. We will update you as soon as more information is available.
