Flood Damage Survey Underway in West Virginia Flood Waters
Crews surveyed Webster and Nicholas counties in central West Virginia for flood damage after rapid river rises from storms dumped five inches of rain in four hours. Officials estimated potential losses near one million dollars, though initial figures were lower than first expected as roads were passable and mudslides occurred. Forest Service and state police reported widespread damage to residences, campsites, and roads, with inspections continuing days after the storm.
