The recent snow and ice that remained in many places is now melting off due to rain, which causes extensive flooding, especially in the southern part of West Virginia.
Governor Patrick Morrisey has declared a State of Emergency amid heavy rains and flooding in Cabell, Greenbrier, Kanawha, Logan, Mercer, McDowell, Mingo, Raleigh, Summers, and Wyoming Counties. A State of Preparedness is already in effect throughout all 55 counties of West Virginia.
This is historic flooding. Southern WV will be devastated.
