Just heard interview with ass’t. mgr. of K-mart. People doing OK, realize that it’s out of their control. K-mart distributed necessities (tooth paste, brushes, blankets, PJs etc) last night. Most people slept in cars. Coffee and snacks this AM. Most folks there are local and if/when they get out, they have nowhere to go. Roads are impassable so they can’t get home. National Guard is bringing a bridge from Buckhannon.
As I posted earlier, water is out to the mall and considering the widespread power outages in the area, I would be surprised if they have power.

State now has 6 confirmed dead and one “recovery” operation ongoing (4 yr. old boy)
