At Least 4 People Dead, Multiple Others Missing After Nearly 30-Minute Rainstorm Causes Devastation in West Virginia

Be sure to not call FEMA.

At least four people, including a 3-year-old child, are dead and four others remain missing amid severe storms and flooding in northern West Virginia this weekend.

During a news conference on Sunday, June 15, Gov. Patrick Morrisey confirmed the casualties after a rainstorm hit the area the night prior.

“This is a very difficult time for Ohio County and West Virginia,” Morrisey said.
