West Virginia Floods Force Emergency Response | Charleston News

Published 1 week, 3 days ago
Description

West Virginia is reeling from catastrophic flooding, with some areas getting seven inches of rain in one day—comparable to the 1985 disaster. Governor Morrisey declared a state of emergency as major highways like I-79, US-33, and Corridor H are shut down or impassable. Homes are flooded, shelters are open, and 911 lines in Upshur County are down. Officials urge residents to stay off roads and shelter in place unless it’s an emergency. For missing persons, call West Virginia State Police; otherwise, use 911. Communities are bracing for recovery amid rising waters and disrupted services.
