The severe weather prompted Governor Morrisey to declare a State of Emergency in multiple counties. Initially, on February 15, 2025, the declaration included Cabell, Greenbrier, Kanawha, Logan, Mercer, McDowell, Mingo, Raleigh, Summers, and Wyoming counties. The following day, Boone, Lincoln, and Wayne counties were added to the declaration, highlighting the extensive impact of the storms.
Governor Morrisey expressed his gratitude to the linemen and state road crews working under challenging conditions to restore services and clear debris. He emphasized the importance of their efforts in ensuring that power restoration progresses efficiently.
An official update is scheduled for 11 AM, where further details on restoration efforts and safety measures will be provided. Residents are encouraged to monitor official government channels for the latest information and to exercise caution, especially in areas still affected by debris and flooding.
This situation is evolving, and authorities are working diligently to return services to normalcy. Community members are advised to stay informed and adhere to safety guidelines issued by local officials.
