(Wheeling, WV) According to officials, weekend flash flooding in West Virginia has killed at least eight people, including a 3-year-old child. The death toll became eight when a man was found dead on Wednesday in the Ohio River. Efforts to clean up and operations to rescue people are still ongoing. Governor Patrick Morrisey is getting in touch with the White House to assist with the efforts and will send surveys of damage to FEMA once flood victims submit them.
