Flash Floods Hit WV and Ohio | Charleston News

Torrential rains drenching western West Virginia and southeastern Ohio have triggered flash flood warnings, with 4-7 inches of rain pounding areas like Gallia and Meigs counties in Ohio, and Jackson and Mason counties in West Virginia. Emergency crews are already responding with multiple water rescues, schools have shut down for safety, and officials are urging residents not to drive through flooded roads — one image even showed Mill Creek Road nearly swallowed by rising waters. The situation remains critical until late morning, with officials watching for damage as waters recede. Stay alert, check forecasts, and heed warnings — nature’s power can change everything in minutes. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
