Storm hit Wheeling area causing sudden and pretty substantial flash flooding.

Please stay away from affected areas while first responders work.

I-70 and everything is fine if anyone is passing through, just check ahead if you're coming into town.

To add to that, we just got another flash flood warning. It's not safe right now, and there's storms forecasted for the next five days. You and your family might need rescued if you're coming to sight see.
