Tornadoes Strike West Virginia | Charleston News
Description
Tornadoes likely tore through multiple West Virginia counties, leaving a trail of destruction from toppled radio towers to shattered homes and overturned campers. In Pleasants County, a local radio station’s transmitter was destroyed, and former State Senator Donna Boley’s home was hit — with damage appearing to follow two distinct paths. A cell tower nearby also collapsed, and in Belmont, a marine business and campers suffered major wind damage. Pendleton County saw a suspected touchdown in the east, where a family narrowly escaped injury when their car was struck by a falling tree. The National Weather Service is now deploying inspectors to assess damage and determine tornado intensity on the Fujita scale — as communities brace for recovery and support.
