Severe flash flooding in West Virginia killed five, including a three-year-old, and left three missing. In Wheeling, 2.5 to 4 inches of rain fell in half an hour, causing significant damage. One apartment block partially collapsed, and residents were evacuated. Emergency services were delayed due to extensive infrastructure damage. A local resident lost their home and pet in the flooding.
