one of the key turning points in modern

But as of Friday, no one knew where
Britain was headed, with joyous antiEU

At least in the short term, the pes

a sudden question over who would lead

More than 24 hours of

turmoil ended Friday
night in Elkview, W.Va,
as hundreds of people
trapped by flood waters
in a shopping plaza drove
down a gravel road that
had been constructed in a
day to rescue them.
This is a nightmare,
Brittany Smith said Fri
day, after spending Thurs
day night in her car.
At least 23 people died
in flooding across West
Virginia.
The tiny town of Rainelle
in Greenbrier County in
the southeastern part of
the state took the brunt
of the devastation. The
state Division of Home
land Security reported 15
people killed in Greenbrier
County.
Three were killed in
Kanawha County. Two
young boys also died,
one in Ohio County and
another in Jackson County.
Hundreds more were left
homeless and thousands
without power.

Early reports indicate

about 9 inches of rain

more than 100 homes and

The governors office
said 14 deaths were con

and rescue workers across
the state confirmed the
others not yet included in
the states official tally.
One of the dead included
a 4yearold boy who was
found about a quarter
mile from where he fell
into a creek, which usually
runs about ankle deep but
rose to about 6 feet deep

Stock investors lose $1.75T in day; unprecedented

Britains unexpected deci

sion to leave the European
Union spooked investors
around the world Friday and
stoked concerns about the
repercussions for the global
economy and companies do
ing business in the United
Kingdom.
The upheaval in global mar
kets wiped out gains for U.S.
stocks this year as investors,

who had grown optimistic

recently based on polls that
British voters would favor
remaining in the 28nation
union, fled to the relative safe
ty of U.S. Treasury bonds and
gold. The benchmark 10year
Treasury note flirted with a
recordlow yield of 1.40 per
cent before recovering a bit.
The British pound hit its low
est level against the U.S. dollar
in 30 years.

a tempest in a teapot, said

Aaron Leaman, chief invest
ment officer at Signature Fi
nancial Planning in Mt. Wash
ington. The direct effect on the
U.S. economy is minimal. Ex
ports to the United Kingdom
make up only about 0.7 per
cent of U.S. economic output.
And Britains exit from the
alliance of European nations
is years away.
Youre going to see a lot of
shortterm drama and a lot of
longterm nothing, Leaman
said.

Stock investors lost about

$1.75 trillion, according to PNC
Asset Management Group, as
the news rippled through mar
kets in Asia, Europe and the
United States. The Dow Jones
industrial average plunged
610.33 points, or 3.4 percent,
to 17,400.74 its biggest daily
point loss in nearly five years.
The Standard & Poors 500
dropped 75.91 points, or 3.6 per
cent, to 2,037.41. The Nasdaq
lost 202.06 points, or 4.12 per
cent, to close at 4,707.98.
Investors should view the
fallout from Britains vote as
