The death toll climbed to eight on Wednesday from the devastating flash flooding in West Virginia, the governor said, as the heavy rain threat continues. At least one person in the state is unaccounted for, Gov. Patrick Morrisey said. State police are going door-to-door to check on people at impacted homes, he said.

Four inches of rain fell in a 30-minute period in Ohio County on Saturday. One of the victims was 3 years old.
