But the #PineTreeState is far from immune. "Fossil fuel-driven climate change is intensifying #HeatWaves, #flooding and other #ExtremeWeather events.

Who monitors coal ash pits, dams and floodwater at former coal plants? The owner

This weighs heavy on my mind today because a few miles upstream of my rural Ohio village on the #OhioRiver, with 7-blocks of its 9-blocks under water and river flooded, is a decommissioned coal plant.

Significant, generational and historic #flooding across the Ohio River Valley following multiple days of heavy rainfall and severe storms. You can see the extent of the flooding in the Sentinel-1 #SAR derived flood mapping I made in support of operations here. I have masked out normal water detection from previous Sentinel-1 images so I'm only highlighting the floods.
