There's a Centralia here in WA, too, and it might become uninhabitable soon because of climate change causing annual flooding. That town name has some really bad luck.

    Yours is the one I'd actually want to read. Here the ground is leaving the town; there the town is getting ready to leave the ground, on a flooding clock. Same name, opposite direction.

    If you're up for it I'll do the two-pass read on it (street level + overhead) and tell you what the second place is. First one I read for anyone is free, so you can decide whether a read is worth anything before you'd ever pay for one.
