In November, 1985, four days of steady rain fell across West Virginia. Having just dodged the remnants of Hurricane Juan, now fizzled out over the Great Lakes, many residents were breathing a sigh of relief. But a new storm was brewing in the Gulf, and it was headed for the Mountain State, bringing with it a disaster no one saw coming and no one was prepared for. Throughout the state both homes and lives were lost, entire towns were wiped off the map, and 25 years later many West Virginians have never fully recovered. On November 5, 2010, the Charleston Gazette remembered those victims -- both the ones lost, and the ones whose lives were changed forever.
