We are having after affects of the storm systems. First the 6 inches of rain from Irene last weekend, now a storm system and remnents of Lee have dropped 9 inches in the last 4 days. Another 2 inches until tomorrow.
The Wyoming Valley is on the verge of mass evacuation again. The Weather channel, Dr. Forbes is fearing the weaken dikes, and then ON SLAUGHT of rains through the night coming from MD, over us in PA, up into NY are a dangerous situation... Right over the heart of the Susquehanna River... The flood level is about 20 ft, with a river crest of 40 ft expected. The dikes around the city itself were improved to 41 ft after Agnus flooded the entire valley years ago 1972. About June 2006 hundreds of thousands were evacuated because the dikes only protect the city. All the outlying community's, towns and boroughs have no protection. It is still raining out now not much chance of rain to lighten by the morning moving toward NY. NY is where the Susquehanna River starts...bringing all the heavy rain from there down to us. The streams and creeks already have roads shut down, washed away, or impassable from the deep raging waters over their banks. I have been so busy with insurance claims, hurried to do 3 today as roadways were being closed behind me. I drove over the river coming home and they started putting the flood gates up where the bridge is covered by water in a few feet. Just like New Orleans, the dikes raise far above us. So many are spending tonight in shelters with their families wondering if the river will break through, or in the low lying areas if they will have a home to go back to. Trailers parks and cottages along the river are already covered in water. I am on the Mountain, streams, wet ground from Springs shooting up like fountains, and trees so heavy in the weak ground dirts....mud.

Thanks all, Steve I wish we could too. Started another heavy band now. The entire Wyoming Valley is evacuated.
Already the streams and low lying river areas are under water. The main Interstate across PA I-80 is closed in a section because the river is over the roadways, and every roadway that would be a detour. I am not in threat of flood to the home on the mountain, but the springs shooting out of the ground and Mt. have me concerned for the landslide and trees falling. The streams running down the mountain to the nearby creek have local roads closed with flash flooding so really can't get further then the local store. No work today.. Well, dd cyber schools so that will keep us busy for awhile. Let you know how things are later.
