Kanawha Valley reels from more flooding: Area rivers crest at highest levels in 50 years: November 19-20, 2003
|
In September of 2025, my work is generating the most income it ever has in my career. Yet, I'm being forced to shut down my successul operation, against my will, due to one cause alone: 95% of that revenue is being stolen by piracy and copyright infringement. I've lost more than $1 million to copyright infringement in the last 15 years, and it's finally brought an end to my professional storm chasing operation. Do not be misled by the lies of infringers, anti-copyright activists and organized piracy cartels. This page is a detailed, evidenced account of my battle I had to undertake to just barely stay in business, and eventually could not overcome. It's a problem faced by all of my colleagues and most other creators in the field. |
EXPEDITION VIDEO: Flooding in and around Charleston
CHARLESTON, WV - Heavy rain amounts of up to 3 to 5 inches across the area on Wednesday caused serious flooding problems in West Virginia. Rivers in the region were on the rise and many crested above flood stage for the second time this month. The Kanawha River in Charleston crested at flood stage (30 feet) for the first time since 1955 on Thursday morning, completely submerging Magic Island and many other areas around the Kanawha Valley.
In Putnam County on Wednesday, a local TV crew shot dramatic footage of a rescue after a car drove into floodwaters on Teays Valley Road in Scott Depot (in front of the new Charter building, near the YMCA entrance). The video was shot by a WCHS-TV (Channel 8) crew and was shown on national television.
The Ohio River was expected to crest above flood stage today from Point Pleasant to Greenup, KY and points west. Most rivers in West Virginia experienced at least minor flooding problems.
