if such an event were to occur the mass casualtys alone would ver whelm the medical capabilities here they barley con with 3 trama patients now thats the truth and it,s scary. The buffer has since been removed in the xcoal seems now if such a shift it would be catrostophic here
. the mountains have no where else to go but down and guess who lives in these hollers,and gaps it,s common since it,s happen here before and it will happen again and sooner than later. With the coal removed there is nothing binding the stratosphere of the moutains it acts as ball barrens between the seems where the coal has been removed. I was in the moutains the other day and this situation hit me from no where and i can,t shake it . I truly believe i had a real life primanition of whats to come here shotlyj some thing Harlan county has never seen before a massive earth quake near here, i pray not but I belive we should prepare there has been several small quakes near here recently, hwat about the men underground then how would we respond to such an event there is alot of coal mines here and the surounding area,not enoughr responders worst off there are no 2nd derry backup such as a voluteer response team of trained rescuers and recover men I myself worked underground for 5 years or so I know the conditions of alot of roofs in the mines they would not withstand a sismic event such as a 5.0 or larger quake if anyone feels the same way and know for themselfs in what i,m saying is the truth we will have alot of trapped miners and not enough responders to aid them recovery and the medical repercustions that will follow said so event. IN the build up of emerdency reponders in harlan co. why has,nt this been addresed properly IF there is one man or woman that may read this and agree (606) 837-2338 I would like to do something about this the right way and contact whom ever can help make this known before there is another (that don,t happen here ,it want happen PLANES don,t hit buildings here ether did they I apoligize for that commparisen MY heart still bleeds today for that day, god comfort those people who are part of his divine plan)
