The Christmas Flood

The Christmas Flood was a disastrous event that took place on Christmas Day, 2082, in Appalachia. David Thorpe, the leader of the Cutthroats, destroyed Summersville Dam with a stolen mini nuke to attack the Responders, who had captured his lover Rosalynn Jeffries. It devastated the city of Charleston and caused the death of over 1000 Appalachian survivors, including Jeffries. While the Responders lost almost everything, they didn't give up and tried to rebuild in Morgantown.

The flood left Charleston in a sorry state. Many building were destroyed, some completely dislodged from their position. The formerly prospering city was turned into a ghost town.
