Five people were killed and three are still missing after flash flooding hit a region of West Virginia over the weekend.

West Virginia is under a state of emergency after deadly flash flooding overwhelmed communities over the weekend, leaving cars submerged, homes destroyed and causing some roads to buckle. The governor says at least five people are dead and four others are missing.

Flash flooding caused by torrential rains on Saturday killed at least three people in northern West Virginia. Officials said 2.5 to 4 inches of rain fell within about half an hour.
