Thanks Chris, I never thought it would be that complicated. I guess if we had a fairly strong earthquake there would be a new geographic formation, Lake Wilkes-Barre.

This is all so cool! I’ve always been fascinated with US history. Growing up in the Midwest and Deep South I never heard much about the PA coal mines but clearly this area has an incredible history. Thanks for bringing to my attention. Lisa

Here is a 2 minute segment that was on the local TV station about the Knox mine.
