Storm Tears Through Ohio River Valley | Charleston News
Description
A ferocious storm tore through Pleasants County, leaving a devastating path of destruction that crossed the Ohio River — snapping trees like matchsticks and bending a massive highway sign backward over the riverbank. While officials haven’t confirmed if it was a tornado or microburst, the damage is undeniable. The storm’s rampage began in Belmont, WV, swept into Newport, OH, then climbed back toward St. Marys, WV, uprooting mature trees and leaving a wake of chaos. As cleanup begins, flood warnings loom as heavy rains swell nearby rivers. The National Weather Service is now on the ground, ready to determine if an EF-scale tornado actually touched down — and the answer could reshape how communities brace for future storms.
