In Rain-Soaked West Virginia, Flood Victim Planning Funerals


———Mattise reported from Clendenin, West Virginia. Like other business operators along Main Street in the West Virginia town of Rainelle, Pamela Wallace Arnold is slowly cleaning up from state's worst flooding in decades. Wallace is doing double duty drying out her rain-soaked business — launched by her great-great-grandfather in 1926 — while planning the funerals of some of the flood victims. She runs Wallace and Wallace, one of two funeral chapels in this town of 1,500 residents. Thousands of homes and businesses across this mountainous state were damaged or destroyed when up to 9 inches of rain fell in a short span, causing perhaps the worst flooding West Virginia has seen in three decades.
