After flooding destroyed a family's pharmacy

After flooding destroyed a family's pharmacy, costing them nearly $700,000 in medicine, Clendenin Pharmacy, Inc. is open once again.

Bill Ore's community pharmacy re-opened its doors today in an emergency capacity, offering service to anyone who needed it. After the devastating flooding last week, many residents are without the medicine they need.

"We're without a grocery store, a pharmacy, a barber shop, we have nothing," said Ore. "It's a catastrophe."

Ore credits his daughter, Lindsey, as the driving force behind the re-opening. According to Ore, she was the one who found and rented the lean-to trailer they could use as a part of the re-opening.

"I'm not sure I could've done it without [Lindsey]," Ore tells WSAZ. "I may have given up long ago."

The pharmacy officially opened today. While not yet at full service, the family expects to have their medicine shelves fully restocked by July 5th.

Ore and his daughter both say that because of the extensive damage done, the pharmacy will not only be servicing Clendenin, but also making deliveries to places like Clay and Elkview as well.
