Recovery From February Flood Still Slow In Southern Counties, This West Virginia Morning

Listen

On this West Virginia Morning, flooding swept through Central Appalachia in February, killing at least 27 people across Kentucky and West Virginia. Six months after the flood, federal and state assistance has been slow to come to the region.

And West Virginia National Guard troops will soon be deploying in Washington, D.C. and protestors plan to send a grim reminder to Sen. Jim Justice.
