Flash flooding caused by torrential rains on Saturday turned deadly in northern West Virginia. Officials said up to 4 inches of rain fell within about half an hour.

Deadly flash floods hit Wheeling, West Virginia, where Wheeling Creek rose nearly 7 feet to flood stage within just a few hours, causing major damage. Cleanup and recovery efforts are underway after at least seven people lost their lives over the weekend in Ohio and Marion counties.

At least two people remained missing in the state's northern panhandle after torrential downpours tore through the region Saturday night, Gov. Patrick Morrisey said Monday. As much as 4 inches (10 centimeters) of rain fell in parts of Wheeling and Ohio County within 40 minutes. Among the six dead was a 3-year-old child, the governor said.
