West Virginia elected officials, residents, business owners and members of local, state and federal agencies celebrated a project April 28 that will reduce damages resulting from flood events in Logan County. The Island Creek Local Protection Project, a nearly $39 million channel modification endeavor and flood warning system is designed to bring much needed reprieve from the damages of all too frequent flooding in Logan, explained Sherry Adams, project manager with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Huntington District. "I can't tell you how stressful it is for a small business owner to keep operations going when you run the risk of losing everything to floods year after year," said Jesse Queen, proprietor of Stereo Video Unlimited. Queen described numerous incidents when he and his staff hustled frantically to secure audio visual equipment as flood waters gushed into his Logan store, submerging the shop in up to eight feet of water. Other residents described cars floating like boats and personal property from basements and garages flowing freely down inundated streets. "I am grateful to everyone who made this project happen, said Queen. "Everyone who cared enough about Logan to help us," he said. |
