No one should be upset because no one picked the correct numbers to win the large Powerball jackpot last night. It didn't stop people from walking up to the lottery outlets to buy a chance at a multi-million

The amount of damage from the June and July storms is being assessed right now by Kanawha County officials. So far, about $2 million is estimated in Kanawha County alone.
That figure only takes into account property owned by the county, paid by tax payers, according to Dale Petry, Director of Kanawha County Homeland Security and Emergency Management.
Those buildings and venues include county buildings, parks, the cost of emergency crews and fire departments. Petry said the estimate for damage could increase or decrease, but Kanawha County has already met the threshold for assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
"We are still trying to gather our numbers. We have had meetings with FEMA. We just had meetings with the different organizations like police, fire and EMS. We have had our planning department out checking our infrastructure," said Petry.
FEMA is in Kanawha County to survey residential property that has been damaged by the storm.
