Patrick Morrisey: “We are praying for everyone in harm’s way and for the first responders working through the night to keep West Virginians…”

This is a time for West Virginians to come together to do everything possible, not only to pray for all those who are affected, but we're going to need a lot of help in the days and weeks ahead.

That’s a critical part of the efforts right now.

Recovery doesn’t end when the floodwaters recede.

It does take time to muck out the homes. It takes time to rebuild the bridges and the roads and do the things that are necessary for long-term recovery.
