State Of Emergency Extended

{Charleston, West Virginia}...Eleven West Virginia counties are now under a state of emergency, including Mingo and Logan Counties which were added after Thursday's flooding.  They join Lincoln, Wayne, Doddridge, Harrison, Marion, Monongalia, Preston, Ritchie and Taylor. During a special session Friday, the Senate voted 31-0 and the House of Delegates voted  79-0 to move money from the Governor's Civil Contingency Fund to the General Revenue Fund for help in responding to natural disasters. The Legislature has set aside $10 million to help with clean up efforts after heavy thunderstorms in parts of West Virginia earlier this month.
