A house burning ferociously was washed away in floodwaters on Thursday
afternoon in the worst floods to hit West Virginia in a century.
Amanda Carper posted the video to Facebook with the message: "Please
everyone pray!!! We are stuck in the car with our precious dogs".
The flaming house brushed past trees before colliding with a bridge in White Sulphur Springs.
"Please pray for our neighbors. They are trapped in their attic with small children," Ms Carper added. "Our other neighbors are on their kitchen counter." Ms Carper later wrote that she is now safe at a friend's home.
At least 20 people have died in the flooding, and hundreds more rescued
from homes filling up with water.
National Weather Service meteorologist Frank Pereira said West Virginia
had received a quarter of its annual rainfall in a single day.
"Please pray for our neighbors. They are trapped in their attic with small children," Ms Carper added. "Our other neighbors are on their kitchen counter." Ms Carper later wrote that she is now safe at a friend's home.
