Episode Details

Storms leave a trail of devastation across Upshur, Lewis, and Pleasants counties, but communities are rallying with resilience—rescue teams pulled over 100 people in Lewis with zero fatalities, while two lost their lives in Upshur after being trapped by floodwaters. Pleasants County grapples with the aftermath of three tornadoes, narrowly avoided by many, thanks to swift National Guard and state agency responses. Cleanup is underway, with volunteers, fire departments, and the National Guard clearing debris, distributing supplies, and setting up safe disposal zones—especially for hazardous waste. A new counseling service from West Virginia Wesleyan College offers emotional support to grieving families. Officials stress unity, environmental responsibility, and community strength as they navigate this long road to recovery.
