These are the sewage lagoons for the city of Picher. The June 2008 tornado crossed over these and dumped a lot of debris it was carrying here.

Always a good sign when your town is so undercut with mine shafts you can't even dig a basement to protect you from a tornado or a proper septic tank to dispose of your bodily waste in. If I live to be 100 I'll never understand what the hell people were thinking back in the 70's when they figured out the town was toxic and undercut. It was like smoking, all the miners and their familes laughed and ignored it. Well, they can't ignore it now...
