Raleigh County emergency crews responded to at least 20 calls around the county on Thursday, including a water rescue near Rhodell and a severely damaged access road at a Daniels nursing home.
National Weather Service had issued a flood watch in Raleigh County until 6 p.m. Thursday, and various local creeks around the county had overflowed, emergency workers reported.
A Raleigh Emergency Operations Center dispatcher said Thursday that there were no mandatory evacuations in the county on Thursday due to flooding.
Beaver Fire Department, EOC Director John Zilinski and Raleigh County Sheriff's Office agents responded to a call around 12:45 p.m. at Raleigh Center, a Genesis Health Care nursing home in Daniels. The center's only access road was severely damaged and crumbling.
"We did recommend that they evacuate, and offered to help them, and they chose not to do so at the time," a BFD spokesman told The Register-Herald.
