Communities cleaning up after Friday flooding



Cleanup continued in parts of West Virginia on Sunday following Friday’s flash flooding. Areas in Cabell County and Mingo County took especially hard hits as storms quickly dumped several inches of rain in some areas.
Significant street flooding was reported in Huntington and Barboursville while high water also covered parts of Route 119, Route 65 and Route 52 in portions of Mingo County.
By Sunday morning, the water had returned to normal levels in most areas.
Debris pickups were scheduled for Monday in Mingo County. Residents were being told to move flood debris to the end of their driveways for removal.
