The forecast also included hardest-hit Greenbrier county, where 17 people have died and floodwaters have yet to recede. Earl Ray Tomblin chief of staff Chris Stadelman says authorities still believe there are people missing in Greenbrier County. Many more Rainelle residents were sent to other shelters, he said. Emergency officials also reduced the death toll to 23 from 25 after revealing that two men thought to have been swept away in a camper in Greenbrier County were found alive. The 1985 floods left 47 dead in West Virginia, more than half of them in Pendleton and Grant counties.
