Last weekend’s flash flooding in northern and north-central West Virginia has caused over $10 million dollars in damages.
Eleven counties are facing damage costs totaling $10,604,778, according to the West Virginia Department of Transportation.
Doddridge County has the lowest damage cost at $60,000, while Marshall County has the highest at $3 million.
Additional counties impacted by flooding were Harrison, Marion, Monongalia, Preston, Taylor, Ohio, Wetzel, Randolph, and Tucker counties.
The Division of Highways says personnel have been sent out to continually review the roads and damage costs could rise.
Rain began late Friday, July 28 resulting in high, rushing water. Eight counties were declared a state of emergency by Governor Jim Justice. Members of the National Guard were sent to aid affected communities.
