I've had several people call me and ask if it is flooding in Marlinton. Is it supposed to flood? I checked the National Weather Service and didn't even see a flood warning for our county. Does anyone have any info???
I've been keeping up on the weather pretty closely. I've heard nothing about flood warnings but, I do know that the rivers are up from the rain melting off the snow we had.
There IS a current wind advisory. Accuweather and Allrefer are both calling for gusts in excess of 65 mph for the entire state.
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN CHARLESTON WV HAS ISSUED A
