Per CBS News:

Officials said 2.5 to 4 inches of rain fell in parts of Wheeling and Ohio County within about half an hour on Saturday night. The unexpected deluge overwhelmed local waterways and infrastructure and submerged vehicles in small towns east of the Ohio River, including in Triadelphia and Valley Grove, CBS affiliate WTRF reported.

In Fairmont, a city nearly 100 miles from Wheeling, severe flooding led to multiple water rescues Sunday afternoon, CBS affiliate WDTV reported, including at an apartment building in Marion County.

A city spokesperson told CBS News that an apartment building had partially collapsed, but it wasn’t immediately clear how many people were impacted. Residents were evacuated to Fairmont State University’s campus, the spokesperson said.

West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey said Sunday night that three residents were also missing, and more rain and flooding were possible. The governor said at an earlier news conference that he’s working closely with authorities from FEMA.
