 August is hot and so are the savings at Appalachian Wireless, where all smartphones are 50% off. Even the 64, 128, and 256-gig models, two-year agreement required. Better service, bigger savings. That's today's Appalachian Wireless and East Kentucky Network Company. A mind blowout in Pike County damaged roads and driveways of residents in the Millers Fork Road area of Feds Creek today. Damage that some residents say they can't afford to fix. I've been filling up underneath the road over here of Pollen Rocks where it's breaking through under the bottom of it. Where it's washed out, but I've got this much filled in to where I can get across it as of time right now. As of now, I do not have the money to replace it with and I'm sort of in the bind and I just have to bear with it. Well, the drain pipe up here in this driveway got stopped up and pushed the water over the road into the ditch. That's what caused all this damage. Washed the ditch out and forced all the dirt and the rocks out under the road. And all the debris in the dump down here in my aunt's house. County officials say that mind blowouts happen periodically in Pike County, but what causes them? It's like a terrain. The coal goes up and down. And so the water goes into these empty caverns down under the mountain and they fill up and build up and build up. And then it sits there and where the mine close to the outside to cut the outcrop, the pressure gets so great. Sometimes water being held up that it eats through the dirt and then it blows itself out. So all this water is built up back here comes rushing out. Smith went on to say that his crew quickly cleared the roadway once the water subsided. Reporting from Feds Creek, I'm Shawn Allen for EKB News.
