where would you go? Ohio?

I still want to know what's going to happen when the centralia fire reaches the marcellus shale, there are several spots where they overlap 

Centralia Pa, they would burn the trash at the dump, they had a fire going one time and they hit a pocket of coal, this was in the mid 60's I believe, it's been burning ever since underground, destroyed the whole town and working it's way along the vein through the mountains, we use to be able to drive right through there on 61, the ground was smoking from the fires underneath, but they shut down that part and bypassed traffic around the mountain, they can't put it out, it's part of the anthracite vein in Pa, which runs under the marcellus shale in ne pa, but they are separated by 2000 feet I believe

before on the left, after on the right when the state came in and evicted everyone and bulldozed their homes, they did "pay" for their homes though

yeah, it's pretty crazy, last I heard there were 9 families holding out that were refusing to move from their homes that had been in their families for generations, not sure what happened to them, here is a documentary on it, I think it's on netflix
