On Wednesday evening, April 9th, I was watching the evening news and was surprised to discover that the mine subsidence that happened earlier that day occurred on my wife's relatives property After getting on the phone, we had learned everyone was ok, but the house was condemned and the situation went from bad to worse during the day.
The local media is covering this as their top story and every morning so far, I have been waking up to see their house, current status, and cameos from my relatives. My grandfather-in-law was on WBRE, the morning addition (see thumbnail). I also found Margie's picture in the Times Leader (black and white photo). Robert is in the photo below in the red jacket.

As I discover more information, I'll post it to my blog.
