WHEELING, W.Va. (AP) — A northern West Virginia area still cleaning up from flash flooding less than two weeks ago has been hit with torrential rains again. A flash flood warning was issued for the Wheeling area Thursday night. The National Weather Service says up to 2 inches of rain sent creeks out of their banks. More is possible later. On June 14, nine people died when as much as 4 inches of rain fell in parts of Wheeling and Ohio County within 40 minutes. Dozens of homes, businesses and roads were impacted by flooding. At least 75 vehicles were pulled from two area creeks.  (Photo:  AP)
