Shelters Open for Flood Victims in Southern West Virginia
Posted Saturday, March 13, 2010 ; 08:47 AM | View Comments | Post Comment

Shelters have now opened in four counties.

BECKLEY -- Emergency Services Directors in Raleigh, Fayette, Mercer and Greenbrier counties have opened shelters for flood victims.

Hundreds have been evacuated in the four counties since heavy rain and snow melt caused massive flash flooding overnight and into the morning hours Saturday.

In Raleigh County, the Dream Center on Pinewood Drive in Beckley is available as a shelter for those in need.

In Mercer County, the Mercer County Health Center in Green Valley is open as a shelter.

The Lewis Center in Oak Hill is open in Fayette County.

A shelter has just been set up at the Rainelle Volunteer Fire Department for flood victims in Greenbrier County.
