Though not one of the floods of the 50's and 60's (three feet of mud on the Blvd.), a flood is still a flood. You can thank R.D. Bailey Dam for helping. Still, land use in the lower areas has yet to be restricted and to no ones surprise floods again. Very interesting that business relocates back into flooded buildings again and again.... Some things just don't change in Southern West Virginia. The state has made deals with coal operators to build roadbed for them....why not make a deal to fill in these kinds of areas? Everyone would win.
Just a thought.
Is it just me, or are you playing more seventies in the morning?

That's one indelible memory from childhood trips to McDowell County: Families and businesses seemed to locate the edge of their buildings about 10 feet from the creek bank, no matter how many times water flooded them out.
And that would be the creek bank as defined by a late August drought.
Hell, if I lived near that creek/river/whatever, my abode would be up on stilts, like they do in Cape Hatteras.

Since the RD Bailey damn opened in the late 70's we have very little true floods. What we have here are poor drainage areas (Mt. Gay, Cherry Tree, Garrett's Fork, Crawley Creek, Route 44 toward Omar). A lot of our problems would vanish if we could get Jethro to stop throwing his refrigerator, tires, etc in the creek.

Yesterday we saw,among other things, a porch swing, several tires, a raft, bike, toys, etc. Of course you also know the story of the diaper trees. Diaper trees are found only in Southern West Virginia during the flood season. When the creeks and rivers rise you see diapers suddenly start hanging from the trees. In the last couple of years blue Wal-Mart bags have also started to appear.

thats the problem now... too much has been filled in, now you have areas that have never seen water break above a bank overflow everytime theres an inch or more of rain.....lastone wrote:why not make a deal to fill in these kinds of areas? Everyone would win.

Doesn't MSNBC stand for the Media that Spins the News for Barrack's Cabinet?
