Flood Devastation Hits West Virginia Valleys
A cloudburst and severe storm swept through Pocahontas and surrounding valleys in West Virginia, destroying bridges and rail lines and flooding towns. Dozens of mining plants and saloons were washed away while lifelines like telegraph and rail communications were severed. Rescue teams and officials estimate property losses reaching into the millions as floods isolate towns from Welch to Hinton and stretch communications to the limit.
