On this West Virginia Morning, more than nine months after the February flood that hit southern West Virginia and eastern Kentucky, people are still rebuilding and struggling to recover their daily lives. They’re also wondering — when is the next flood going to happen?
WVPB asked West Virginia photojournalist Roger May to create a photo essay on the people in that region — ensuring their stories are told and not forgotten as the news cycle moves on.
May sat down with News Director Eric Douglas to discuss the project.
