WHEELING, W.Va. — The death toll from weekend flooding in West Virginia rose to six as residents tried to clean up with the threat of more rain on the way.

At least two people remained missing in the state’s northern panhandle after torrential downpours Saturday night, Gov. Patrick Morrisey said Monday. As much as 4 inches of rain fell in parts of Wheeling and Ohio County within 40 minutes. Those dead included a 3-year-old.

About an hour to the southeast, heavy rains battered the Marion County community of Fairmont on Sunday, ripping off the outer wall of an apartment building and damaging bridges and roads. No injuries were reported there.

Morrisey declared a state of emergency in both counties. At least 60 homes, 25 businesses and an estimated 30 roads were impacted by flooding, he said.

In the northern panhandle, vehicles were swept into swollen creeks, some people sought safety in trees and a mobile home caught fire. On Sunday, Morrisey toured the small community of Triadelphia, where five died.
