Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeAn abandoned underground mine in Coalburg Mountain near East Bank had filled with water. After a 4 day rainy period that saw 1.75 to 2 inches of rain fall, the mine blew out the side of the mountain during the predawn hours. Water gushed out of the mine and cascaded down the mountainside. Rocks and mud were picked up by the flowing current. Debris was deposited across roads and railroad tracks on the western end of the community. A parked dump truck was shoved over an embankment. A few homes were evacuated. Water and mud got into at least one garage and basement. Classes at East Bank Middle School were canceled. After a few hours, the water continued to drain, but with decreasing quantity. It took highway maintenance crews a week of work to reopen Route 61.
