23 People Killed In West Virginia Flood —Officials

Massive floods sent raging waters across West Virginia, killing at least 23 people and leaving hundreds stranded, officials said.

Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin announced 14 deaths at a news conference Friday afternoon.

By that night, the West Virginia Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management had increased the death toll to 23.

Trees and power lines fell as heavy rains sent creeks and rivers out of their banks late Thursday and early Friday, leaving many stranded residents waiting to be rescued.
