On January 29, 1986, Michael Kline interviewed Hank Thompson, Jim Blosser, Bryan King, and Michael Parsons for the Tucker County, West Virginia Flood Audio Recordings project. The interview focuses on their experiences during the devastating flood in November 1985. Hank Thompson recounts the night of the flood, when he and others were trapped in a house by rapidly rising waters. He reflects on the fear they felt as the water levels increased and parts of the house were destroyed. The group prayed together, finding comfort in their faith despite the danger. Thompson credits their survival to these prayers, describing a calm that overcame him after praying with a fellow resident, Danny Hibbs. Jim Blosser similarly recalls the harrowing night spent watching the water rise and feeling the house shake from debris carried by the flood. He also highlights the emotional impact of the event and how it strengthened his faith and relationships. Bryan King and Michael Parsons, both junior firemen, describe their efforts to rescue people from flooded homes, including their own struggle to survive when trapped in a house overnight. They recount failed rescue attempts and the emotional toll of believing they might not survive. Throughout the interview, the men reflect on the physical and psychological effects of the flood, the importance of faith in their survival, and how the experience changed their perspectives on life and community.
