Legal Question in Employment Law in Virginia

Can you be fired for leaving early due to inclement weather? There was a state of emergency for our area. I had already worked my 40 hours. It's not in the handbook and i was never told that i would be fired for leaving. I was only aware of receiving an "occurance" for leaving.

known as the Commonwealth of Virginia.
