As residents worked Friday to repair homes and clean up debris, government leaders sounded a call to rebuild the covered bridge that had spanned the Flatrock River since 1886 and given Moscow its identity...

U.S. Rep. Mike Pence, R-Ind., flew into the community Friday aboard a military helicopter to see the damage and talk to residents.

"My family and I have been to the covered bridge festival many times," Pence said shortly before leaving. "When I stood on the banks of the river and saw the remains of the bridge starting to be swept downriver, it was frankly just breathtaking to me. . . . I would love to see this community and this county come together and put that landmark back on the map."
