Severe thunderstorms and heavy rainfall that began on Saturday caused significant flooding and damage across Barbour County, particularly north of Phillipi to the Taylor County line.
According to measurements captured by the National Weather Service at the North Central West Virginia Airport, the region received up to 1.5 inches of rain Saturday.
Gov. Patrick Morrisey declared a State of Emergency for the entire county Monday – a move that allows state agencies to coordinate relief efforts, mobilize personnel and resources and provide emergency assistance to people and communities that have been impacted.
“When West Virginians are facing an emergency, we’re going to move quickly to get the people and resources in place to help,” Morrisey said. “We’re working closely with local emergency officials to assess damage, support response efforts, and help affected communities recover as quickly as possible.”
The volume of rainfall over the weekend overwhelmed streams, creeks and drainage systems, washing out bridges, damaging water lines and forcing road closures in parts of the county.
“Use extreme caution as DOH is still working on roadways in the area,” said one social media post from the Barbour County Office of Emergency Management (OEM) on Sunday. The OEM also posted information about storm conditions as well as cleanup supplies and water distribution efforts.
Severe weather is expected across much of the state on Tuesday. The public is reminded to secure loose items, avoided driving on flooded roads and monitor local weather conditions.
