Flood Stricken Valley Homes Return as Shadow Lingers
In LORADO West Virginia Buffalo Creek runs from Logan County's hills to the Guyandotte River via a narrow valley lined with hundreds of homes in 16 coal camps. The stream grows from a clear ditch to a 20 foot wide six foot deep waterway as it traverses a landscape of shiny mobile homes and prefabricated houses, leaving a lasting disaster behind.
