Anyone out there where they can see what is going on? What critters will be taking a hit? Will many have refuges in tributaries? How far down stream will be affected?

I am hiding in the closet and covering my eyes. I don't even want to hear more about this disaster. I reckon that river is dead.

From what I gathered today from USFWS it was closer to Kanawha, Diamond darter habitats were upstream supposedly, along with some mussel release sites. Not sure how accurate those statements were though.

Have any fish kills been reported? Best case it is dilute and gets flushed out with winter high flow.

Judging from the location of the spill, this will impact the great kanawha more than the elk. Prime fish habitat upstream though.
