CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- More than one-fifth of the state is without power, several major highways are closed and more severe weather is on the way the morning after the remnants of Hurricane Sandy hit West Virginia with full force.
Sandy, now classified as a post-tropical cyclone, will continue to bringing high winds, heavy rains and blizzard conditions to areas of the state today as it slowly moves across the northeastern United States.
Blizzard warnings are still in effect for the state's eastern mountain counties, including Raleigh, Fayette, Nicholas, Pocahontas and Greenbrier counties. Kanawha, Putnam, Lincoln, Clay Boone, Mingo Logan and Braxton counties are under a winter storm warning until today.
The storm has knocked out power to more than 265,000 households across the state -- and outage numbers are rising rapidly.
