pratt flooding

Pratt was slammed over the weekend as Paint Creek left its banks and poured through homes. Torrential rains Friday night into Saturday caused flooding in the area and led to one confirmed death in Raleigh County and the suspected death of a Glasgow fireman (see related story in this edition) as he was swept away while helping rescue those trapped by floodwaters in Raleigh County.
