Significant road washouts and debris flows affected US Route 60 near Kanawha Falls and sections of the West Virginia Turnpike, while rail tracks between Pratt and Montgomery experienced temporary service disruptions. Emergency response teams conducted multiple water rescues and clearing operations in affected communities across Kanawha County.
