John LaForge of Marshall has been living in a hotel with his family for the past week due to his backyard being covered in oil. LaForge lives right next to Talmadge Creek and less than a mile away from the pipeline leak. “It’s just not a safe place to come home to,” LaForge said of his residence where he has lived for 25 years.
