Episode Details

West Virginia’s worst flash floods in years unleashed seven inches of rain, swallowing homes, businesses, and even a Walmart parking lot, forcing hundreds of rescues and triggering a state of emergency across all 55 counties. National Guard troops rushed in as waters cut off roads and swallowed cars—including one at a bar—while warnings urged residents to flee to higher ground. Though flood alerts lifted by Wednesday, the storm was part of a deadly multi-state system that also spawned tornadoes. The disaster echoes a 2011 flood that killed 23, with one creek hitting a record crest—surpassing the 1985 flood that claimed 47 lives statewide.
