Rain and melting snow this March have caused some serious
flooding problems in West Virginia. When
the flood waters flow they move quickly and may cover various roadways in the
state. In addition flooding may cause
landslides which are also prevalent in the Mountain State.
If you’re driving and you see moving or stagnant water on
the roadway always observe the phrase “turn around don’t drown”. Flooding is reported along most of the
state’s mid-sized rivers like the Buckhannon, Guyandotte, Tygart, and Tug Fork.
Those are starting to drain into the larger rivers like the Kanawha,
Monongahela, and Ohio.
The situation has created serious problems in low lying
areas along the Buckhannon River at Buckhannon and the Tug Fork in Williamson.
The high water has shutdown numerous roads across West Virginia and destroyed
some homes and businesses.
Your friends at The Masters Law Firm in Charleston West
Virginia remind you to exercise extreme caution this time of year. Watch for any hazard that water may create
from now through spring and stay safe.
