Shelters Open In West Virginia
WEST VIRGINIA...
A handful of emergency shelters are now open for those affected by the flooding.
While the heaviest rain has moved out of the region, creeks and streams are still spilling out of their banks in some areas.
Fayette County has opened a shelter at the Lewis Center on Central Avenue in Oak Hill.
Kanawha County has opened a shelter at the Pratt Volunteer Fire Department.
Another shelter at Riverside High School will open at 1pm.
Raleigh County has opened a shelter at the Dream Center in Beckley. The Center is located at 224 Pinewood Dr, behind the Family Worship Center.
According to Eyewitness News the torrential rains have moved out of the area, but, a flood warning is in effect as downstream rivers received the runoff.
