Clendenin -- Severe weather and heavy rains flooded a Kanawha County woman's yard.
It happened Monday and 24 hours later, she still couldn't get home.
Georgia Roush, 76, doesn't live in a flood plain.
She says the problem is a clogged drain that runs beneath a nearby road.
In some spots, the water in the yard is more than four-feet deep, and it isn't showing signs of going down.
"My daughter waded in and got my inhaler because I've got to have that," Roush said.
State Division of Highways crews came out Tuesday to assess the problem.
They sent a crew out later in the evening to try to pump out some of the water and clear the drain.
