Hope all of you on here from WV are safe and well. My buddy just lost everything and I couldn't imagine what he's going through.

Thoughts and prayers from KY.

I'm not home currently but saw it on the news while at the beach. Made a few calls. Seems we didn't get effected with it up home but I've got some family in the Richwood region and heard they're under water as well. It's a mess. Hope everyone is okay and that those effected are able to salvage what they can. It's a real mess for many right now. Reports said they got 10" of rain Thursday.

Sure looks bad there.

Might take a while for some to recover from this.

I live in Jackson County about 6 miles from where the toddler was swept away. I have friends or relatives in or around most of the areas seen on the news. We got 4 1/2 inches of rain at my house in a 12 hr period, the places with the unheard of flooding received 9-10 inches in that time frame or less. I have a friend in Greenbrier County whose son is on the fire department, he says several homes were washed away while people were still in them, dozens of folks are still unaccounted for. The photos I've seen on Facebook of towns and trout streams is unthinkable to say the least. One of the members on this forum, Zach lucas I can't recall his screen name, lives in Clendenin and lost everything. He can't even get to his home to survey the damage. I could ramble on and on about the devastation to the people of our state but you get the idea, it's as bad or worse than you see on the news.

My goodness.  The media seems to forget about our own.  I remember when this would have been a big deal.  Like 8 years ago.  Hint.  God bless all those affected by this.  This is devastating and I hope it gets the proper attention and resources required.

I checked on my two turkey buddies in WV and they are both dry and OK.  Prayers for those affected.  Some of the pics above are incredible!
