Reply #41: The Buffalo Creek Flood and other classic boo boos!

[Hubert Flottz]

I don't believe energy companies trashing the planet for their own greedy reasons!

The small communities of Saunders, Lorado, Pardee, Lundale, Craneco, Becco, Stowe, Latrobe, Crites, Kistler, Amherstdale, Accoville, Crown and Braeholm make up what
is know as Buffalo Creek. Buffalo Creek meanders down through these communities and flows into the Guyandotte River at the town of Man. After two days of pouring rain some people were frantic over what they feared was going to happen, others just shrugged it off. They had heard it often when it rained, "The dam is about to break". The slate that had formed a dam 460 ft. long, 50 to 60 ft. high and 320 feet thick was about to overflow. The Buffalo Mining Company, who had formed the dam, was at a loss at what to do next. Water had backed up three-quarters of a mile behind the dump.
