The High Cost Of Flood Insurance And Cycling Champions In Charleston, This West Virginia Morning

Listen

On this West Virginia Morning, West Virginia shares a similar climate with our neighbors in Kentucky, where flooding is the most frequent and costly natural disaster. Yet, only about 1% of the state’s property owners have flood insurance. As Lisa Autry reports from the Appalachia Mid-South Newsroom, experts say major flood events are becoming more common and everyone needs flood insurance regardless of where they live.

And The 2025 USA Cycling Professional Road National Championships will take place beginning today on the roads of downtown Charleston. This is the second year for the Professional Road National Championships in the state capitol.
