BLUEFIELD, WV (WSLS 10) - The final total raised Friday night was $326,753.
That's all from viewers calling in to the Rebuild West Virginia Telethon, that aired all over West Virginia and Virginia Friday night.
It was hosted out of WVVA's studio in Bluefield, West Virginia.
It was a very personal event for a lot of people.
Most people, including music artists, politicians, and people simply living in the Mountain State, either were affected by floods or know someone who was.
That's why seeing the donations roll in means so much.
From 7 o'clock, the phones never stopped ringing, with the endorsement of celebrities from across the country affected by the floods.
"My bass player, his house was flooded out, and it's ruined now and so it kind of really hits home for me, so as much as I can do to help, the better I feel," said Cody Wickline, former contestant on NBC's "The Voice".
Many, like musician and actor Billy Ray Cyrus, have close family ties to the area, and say the news of the flood damage was devastating.
"I felt helpless, to be honest, I felt like I'm not, like there's got to be something I can do, and then I heard about this event going on and I said this is something that I can contribute. So I'm just honored and proud to be here," said Cyrus.
All of the proceeds go to the Red Cross, and Chair Gary Clay says it's needed.
"They're estimating about 2 and 3 thousand homes will be totally destroyed. Those aren't the ones you can clean up, those are people who are left homeless. Those folks we responded to, we got them to our shelters. We've had over 21 hundred stays in those shelters," said Clay.
In addition to that charitable support, the federal government has declared 12 counties in the state as disaster zones, bringing support from FEMA.
"I think it's great when the Feds and the state government, and communities work together to pitch in toward a common cause, and that's certainly why I'm here today," said West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey.
Singer Cody Wickline says all of the phone calls show a support stronger than any storm.
"They're not getting anything for this, it's just out of the kindness of their own hearts, so it's very much appreciated," said Wickline.
The Red Cross says monetary donations are the best way for the public to help at this point.
