At least two deaths have been attributed to flooding in southern West Virginia, Gov. Patrick Morrisey said Tuesday.
Morrisey said that two people died in McDowell County as a result of flooding over the weekend.
The governor said in a briefing Tuesday that an additional person was missing and that a firefighter in McDowell County also died. He said it remains to be determined whether the firefighter’s death was a direct result of the flooding.
“We have announced at least two fatalities from McDowell County, and we believe those individuals are from Welch,” Morrisey said.
Morrisey requested a disaster declaration from President Donald Trump on Monday. West Virginia’s U.S. senators and representatives also sent a letter to Trump and the Federal Emergency Management Agency requesting disaster assistance for 13 counties.
Trump on Sunday approved a disaster declaration for Kentucky, which saw at least a dozen deaths related to the flooding.
The bill, which would expand the number of microgrids to power data centers in the state, also includes provisions affecting the operation of Mon Power and Appalachian Power’s coal plants.
