About 32,000 West Virginia homes and businesses remain without power Saturday after severe flooding hit the state.

The West Virginia Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management also said Saturday that more than 60 secondary roads in the state were closed. U.S. routes 60 and 119 were closed in multiple locations.

The flooding was sparked by heavy rain late in the week.

Authorities said 23 people were killed and scores of homes were damaged after strong thunderstorms rolled into the state on Thursday.
