West Virginia, USA - Huge floods ravaging West Virginia have killed at least 23 people, stranded hundreds and left tens of thousands without power overnight, officials said late Friday. The storm system dumped 9 inches of rain on parts of West Virginia and trapped 500 people in a shopping centre for more than 24 hours after a bridge washed out. Dozens of other people had to be plucked off rooftops or rescued as waters quickly rose during the deluge. The heavy rainfall over six to eight hours prompted the National Weather Service to call it a "one-in-a-thousand-year event."
