Episode Details

West Virginia endured a wild weather rollercoaster last week as rare twin supercell storms ripped through from Ohio, spawning seven tornadoes—including an EF-2 and two EF-1s—across counties like Pleasants, Doddridge, and Ritchie. Meanwhile, record-breaking rain pounded Lewis and Upshur Counties, with Parkersburg, Clarksburg, and Elkins smashing 24-hour rainfall records; one spot near Buckhannon saw over seven inches in just three hours.
