Mason County Floods and Community Response | Charleston News

Mason County, West Virginia, braced for rain but was blindsided by catastrophic flooding that turned homes into waterlogged ruins and swallowed vehicles whole—like Sherri Gilley’s husband’s police cruiser. Emergency crews scrambled as officials called it the worst flood in decades, even shocking veteran responder Jeremy Bryant. Amid the chaos, neighbors rallied: Grace Baptist Church opened a 24/7 donation hub and deployed volunteers to clear debris, led by Pastor Jonathan Pinson. In the face of loss, residents like Sherri are focusing on helping others, proving that community spirit is the strongest force in recovery. Donate or volunteer at 7051 Ohio River Road, or call Pastor Jonathan at 304-531-5293. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
