WOODSDALE W.Va.— Residents have begun cleaning up debris and unsalvageable items from their houses and apartments following Saturday night’s flash flooding in Ohio County.
Wheeling Creek tributary Long Run flooded National Road through the Woodsdale area on Saturday night. Because of the high water, mud and debris, West Virginia state Route 88 / Bethany Pike at Hamilton Avenue, GC&P Road and Mount DeChantal Road were closed.
Those impacted by the flooding in Woodsdale began salvaging what they could from flooded basements and garages on Sunday. Their recovery efforts continued through Tuesday morning, as they attempted to remove mud and other debris from their residences.
Edgewood Street resident Clarissa McCardle, 35, was not present when her house’s basement and garage were filled with water because of flooding from Long Run. Her family was at a baseball tournament for one of her sons in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
A family friend, Ariana Miller, 14, had been watching the family’s dog and rabbit when the flooding occurred.
“We got the phone call on Saturday when the flooding first started from Ariana, and at first I was just like, ‘It’s okay, stay calm,’” McCardle said. “Then we started seeing the videos and pictures. We got so many phone calls from everybody asking us if we were OK because nobody realized that we weren’t there.
“I felt helpless because I could see everybody helping, but I wasn’t there,” she added.
