07-28-2022 Hazard, KY - Historic & Devastating Flooding

I do feel awful for the folks affected by the floods, absolutely devastating.

that the coal companies are responsible for much of this, with their irresponsible land practices and strip mining. Who here has read Night Comes to the Cumberlands by Henry Caudill? I read it years ago when I first moved to Tennessee and it made an indelible impression on me.
