Floodwaters in West Virginia forced some high school students to hold an impromptu slumber party
Floodwaters in West Virginia forced some high school students to hunker down for the night in an impromptu slumber party complete with pizza, board games and football tosses in the gymnasium.
“At this point, students are resting and tucked in for the night,” the school district said in a notice posted on its Facebook page and website shortly before midnight. Photos on the school’s Facebook page showed students playing board games in the cafeteria and tossing a football in the gymnasium. Pizza, juice boxes and other donated foods were spread out across tables. School officials said they would feed the students breakfast Friday and then bring them home.
In Mingo County, along West Virginia's border with Kentucky and Virginia, a mudslide prompted crews to help remove some residents from their homes, WCHS-TV reported. No injuries were reported.
