The Pocahontas Times office had about five feet of water Monday night and it is a scrambled mess. All machinery is mud covered, paper everywhere, things turned upside down and floated from one end to the other. We are putting this paper together as best we can, with no telephone, no mail, no equipment, no electricity, and everyone still in shock.
We plan to distribute it in the County to everyone and then next week we will do a double mailing to those outside the County -- hopefully, that is.
We rescued a few things that had been set from the mud. We don't know what else there might be. Let us know anew next week.
The people of Pocahontas appreciate all the help in cleaning up after the flood.**
