Flooded Ohio River Day In Pomeroy Brings Community Response
Residents of Pomeroy Bend welcomed sunny skies as the Ohio River neared flood stage.

Local businesses moved merchandise, churches opened, and banks of the river ferried information between Parkersburg, Huntington, and Point Pleasant officials. School holidays were extended, and utility crews maintained gas service amid the rising waters.
