Wise declares West Virginia state of emergency over flooding
Governor Bob Wise issued a 30 day emergency in 33 counties as heavy rain and storms threaten more flooding. The move allows overtime for utilities and emergency contracting while state resources are stretched by the Iraq war. Flood warnings stretched to 17 counties and a Webster Springs shelter opened as roads closed and damage assessed.
