Online Stock Market Trading Residents here and in a half-dozen other coal hollows complain that the 100-year flood timetable of folkloric tradition has been dangerously accelerated by modern timber cutters and strip miners on the surrounding steep mountainsides. Industry maintains that its work here is accompanied by restoration efforts ensuring that no environmental damage is permanent. But stunned residents say natural runoffs, and trees that would otherwise help absorb the downpours, have been obliterated, so that flash rains roar down on towns like unimpeded avalanches.

Stock Investing Basics Rainstorms continue to besiege mountainside dwellers left isolated by flood damage here in McDowell County, in the southernmost reaches of West Virginia. The storm of last week killed six people in the county while destroying close to 200 homes and flooding more than 2,000 others. Five other flood-related deaths have been reported in a multicounty swath of hamlets along the winding Virginia and Kentucky borderlands of Appalachia.

Stock Investing Software "Last July's storm was called the 100-year flood," noted Kimball's mayor, Jack Premo. "I guess this is a 101-year flood. We lost everything last time, including City Hall, and we've lost it all again with this one."

Stock Market Crash "The logging has been going on indiscriminately, and no one will help us control it," said Jean Battlo, a writer whose Main Street home and elaborate flower garden were deluged once more by the latest torrent.

Stock Investing Tip "Even Senator Rockefeller was asking about the timbering," Ms. Battlo said of Senator John D. Rockefeller IV, who toured the damage on Monday and asked repeated questions about the effects of timber clear-cutting on the land's ability to absorb and channel runoffs.

Stock Market Chart "I rebuilt after July's flood; how stupid was that?" Ms. Battlo said as the town spent another anxious day under flash-flood warnings. "I've been writing a play about the Hatfield shootouts in the mining days, but I can see the fresh tragedy to be written here is all about the flooding," she said, vowing to stay and capture the story.

Stock Market Report The McDowell County region, one of the poorest in Appalachia, has been in a downward spiral for 50 years, with young people emigrating and welfare replacing coal as an economic force. The county now has only about one-fourth the population of 100,000 it had in busier days, when, long before machine-intensive strip mining, manual labor was at a premium. But retired miners like Mayor Premo, who worked 40 years underground, remain addicted to the beauty of the mountain hollows.

Street Trader Wall "It breaks your heart to see a third of the houses in Coalwood gone, destroyed," said Jay Wilson, director of McDowell Mission, a Methodist charity. He is hoping for the return of hundreds of volunteers from across Appalachia who helped rebuild impoverished McDowell County hamlets last summer.

Indian Stock Market "Recovery truly depends on people pulling together," said State Senator John R. Unger II, who is coordinating the state disaster-relief effort. "And I have to marvel how people are doing just that, rising above their homes' being destroyed."

Stock Investing Advice Residents complain strongly about the effects of lumbering and strip mining, noting in particular the Bush administration's new decision to ease coal waste restrictions on mountaintop mining. This process involves the decapitation of mountaintops by giant machinery that now will have more leeway in pouring wastes into nearby streams that environmentalists say are vital for storm management. A state study on the effects of mining and lumbering on the Appalachian hollows is expected this summer.

Free Journal Street Wall The Bush administration contends that the new policy on coal waste will be tightly controlled by the Army Corps of Engineers. But Mr. Widener, the undertaker, firmly insisted: "Timbering and mining have raped and ruined us. A hundred families left after the July flood, and now here's the fresh storm, the ground bursting open with nowhere for the water to go. We're left all scared and hesitant."
