Veterans Day Parades
One of the significant events being celebrated in West Virginia today is Veterans Day. Across the state, communities are coming together to honor and recognize the service and sacrifice of our veterans. Parades and ceremonies are being held to pay tribute to those who have served in the armed forces.
Missing Miner in Nicholas County
In a tragic incident, one miner is still missing from the Rolling Deep Mine in Nicholas County, West Virginia. The miner went missing after tunnels flooded, leading to a search and rescue operation to locate them. Our thoughts are with the miner’s family and loved ones during this difficult time.
Icy Road Conditions on Interstate 77
Interstate 77 North is currently closed near the Edens Fork Road exit in Kanawha County due to icy road conditions. The first snow of the season has created hazardous driving conditions, leading to several weather-related crashes on both I-64 and I-77. Motorists are urged to exercise caution and avoid unnecessary travel until road conditions improve.
Additionally, firefighters are responding to an active structure fire on Montrose Drive, as reported by South Charleston Fire Chief Virgil White. The combination of icy roads and winter weather is posing challenges for emergency responders and residents alike.
Marine Corps Celebrate 250 Years
On a more positive note, the Marine Corps is celebrating 250 years of service. West Virginia commemorated this milestone with a ceremony at the West Virginia Culture Center, honoring the brave men and women who have served in the Marine Corps over the centuries.
