After W.Va. flooding, Baptist DR aiding recovery
GREENBRIER COUNTY, W.Va. (BP) -- Blue and "yellow" hard hats can be seen along eight West Virginia counties' roads and streets -- hats worn by Southern Baptist Disaster Relief volunteers. Engaged in recovery assessment, the SBDR response teams are making their way through communities that were under water just days ago, answering calls for help from numerous West Virginians left without power, vehicles and even homes. On June 23, torrential rains hit West Virginia, causing flooding that claimed at least 24 lives and more than 100 homes. More than 30,000 homes and businesses lost power.
