Frequently asked questions
The 2011 rebuild replaced a lot of houses. Is the chat still under the new ones?
The tornado took the houses. It did not take the ground. Chat and tailings are still the pad for a lot of the rebuilt band, and May rain still perches in that fill. A 2011 slab can wet from below like a 1950 crawl if the chat was left. Newness is the roof. The mining district is the floor.
The ground here is old mine waste. Does that change how water behaves?
It changes it completely. Tri-State chat and tailings perch May rain instead of letting it pass, so old crawls and 2011-rebuild slabs alike sit on material that holds water against them. The fill is the mechanism, and the storm that rebuilt the town did not remove it.
The house missed the tornado path. Is May still a chat problem?
If it sits on the mining ground, yes. The path was wind. The chat is the district. A crawl outside the rebuild band can still perch May rain in tailings. Looking up a damage map is the wrong layer. The mine map is the right one.
