Picher, Oklahoma was once a thriving mining town, but decades of toxic lead and zinc waste left it dangerously polluted. The ground became unstable, homes sank, and residents suffered serious health issues. After a powerful tornado hit in 2008, most of the town was destroyed. By 2013, Picher was officially abandoned — now a haunting ghost town frozen in time. . . #geography #history #usa #Oklahoma #Canada | Urban Atlas
