Auburn Floods and Tornado Hit Ritchie County | Charleston News
Description
Auburn in Ritchie County took a brutal hit from record rainfall, turning Main Street into a river and damaging nearly every building there—leaving 20 to 30 residents displaced. Despite the chaos, neighbors rallied, setting up a donation center and feeding evacuees. One inspiring story: a couple escaped their mobile home using a ladder and crawling up a hill—wife’s mobility challenges didn’t stop them. FEMA surveyed the damage, and the governor’s requested federal disaster aid for both public and private losses. Meanwhile, an EF-1 tornado from Ohio tore through another part of Ritchie County, damaging trees and one roof—but no injuries. Cleanup continues as the community rebuilds, one neighbor helping another.
