BARBOURSVILLE, W.Va. (WOWK) — The Target in the Merritt Creek Shopping Center in Barboursville, West Virginia is falling apart after the road behind it collapsed.
Edit: known issue, Target just thought they could beat nature unlike the last tenant.
This is not climate change, y’all. The Appalachians are an eroding mountain range. The town where my sister lives is in a constant battle to keep the roads from falling into the adjacent creek beds. It’s just an absurdly difficult geography to build on.
I looked up the thing.

I knew it was West Virginia.

Fun fact: The Appalachians are older than Saturn’s rings
Yep! Over a billion years old and a major feature on Pangaea.

Climate change can accelerate erosion.
Thank you!
