At least 26 dead in West Virginia flooding

The bodies of three more victims of West Virginia's historic flooding were found overnight Saturday, according to county authorities, raising the death toll to 26 from torrential rains and high water that has destroyed more than 100 homes, washed out scores of roads and bridges and knocked out power to tens of thousands of people.
As much as 8-10 inches of rain fell in six to eight hours in parts of the state on Thursday, according to the National Weather Service.
This amount of rain in such a short time is likely a "one-in-a-thousand-year event," the weather service said.
