The 1985 floods left 47 dead in West Virginia, more than half of them in Pendleton and Grant counties. "I think the first responders must have reported them missing and that got into them being just presumed dead. That number includes 20 bodies found and three people who are missing and presumed dead. Two men who were presumed dead when a camper was swept away in rushing waters during the West Virginia floods were found alive, officials said Monday as more heavy rain fell on already-soaked parts of the state. Authorities have yet to start sizing up the flood damage in West Virginia.
