28 gru 2008 · Pineville is a small (~2500) town in the hills of eastern Kentucky. The nearby Cumberland river has flooded the town often enough that in the 80s the Army Corps of Engineers built a levee-and-floodwall system, including these massive floodgates across the highway leading into town.
Further downstream, the town of Pineville was inundated with about 15 feet of water after the levees and floodwall were overtopped. Three people died, 674 suffered injuries or illness and an estimated 1512 families suffered loss in Bell County alone due to the flooding.
