    Theres a whole wiki now on the WVA flood here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_West_Virginia_flood

    After I got off work at Toyota in Buffalo, WV I made it home to Elkview exit off I-79 around 5 a.m. At that time I decided to try to save my brother Josh from the K-mart on the now Crossings Island Shopping Center. I went down from the collapsed bridge/road to the car wash to find the secondary wash out bridge, which involves walking up a steep super muddy hillside. After the
    trek up the mudslide, I walked across lot to K-Mart to find my brother Joshua sleeping back in the matress section barricaded with pillows, making him a little pillow fort. He was happy to see me and we proceeded to make our
    escape home. The following 6 hours travel through the woods and across flood water in a motorized v-shaped john boat finally led me home to Fluph's home residence (my Dad's house) which thankfully was still there mostly dry. The journey I fell could be a great survivalist magazine article. I'm on the way now up into the woods again to recover my glasses that fell off during the ordeal. Wish me luck :)
