West Virginia's worst flooding in a century has killed at least 23 people, and the three most devastated counties will receive federal disaster aid and other counties may as well, Governor Earl Ray Tomblin said on Saturday. The Federal Emergency Management Agency has granted a major disaster declaration for individual assistance such as medical help and housing in Kanawha, Greenbrier and Nicholas counties, Tomblin said. West Virginia's death toll from flooding is the highest for any U.S. state this year, with 15 deaths reported in Greenbrier County in southeast West Virginia, where the heaviest rain fell, and six in Kanahwa County, officials said.
