Flooding is expected in the Huntington area, which was damaged by flooding on Sept. 8. "Residents in the Huntington area, especially those who live on Fenwick Drive and Arlington Terrace, are encouraged to immediately move their vehicles to higher ground. Residents should also move valuables from basements," according to the Fairfax County Emergency Information blog.
The region has had it rough the last couple of months. An earthquake, hurricane and flood damaged three Fairfax County bridges and more than 100 roadways. It will take an estimated two months to repair a portion of Lorton Road, which has an eight-mile detour.
