A recent round of heavy rain on Thursday could lead to flooding on area rivers. And that has state officials concerns for the safety of boaters, as rushing rivers could lead to fatal boating accidents.
In Richmond, The Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (DGIF) says recreational boaters should use extreme caution this upcoming weekend as the National Weather Service has issued Flood Warnings in several locations throughout Virginia and water temperatures remain dangerously cold.
DGIF Conservation Police Officers (CPOs) have responded to and worked several boating incidents that have resulted in fatalities and injuries to boaters who have attempted to navigate waters that were affected by heavy rains and cold water temperatures. Navigating rivers in these conditions can be hazardous due to significantly higher than normal water levels and trash and other debris that could be floating on the surface or just below the waterline.
