Past experience has shown that these storms can take erratic paths. They do travel slowly, though and anyone who has a TV or radio should check the reports periodically and get out of the way.

Check the weird path of Camille in 1969:


Compare that with Agnes in '72:

My father was an Insurance adjuster specializing Maritime insurance. He was usually the first called by his company to these sites.

Boy do I remember Agnes. Still probably the worst flooding the Susquehanna and surrounding creeks have seen in my lifetime. Maybe ever.

I remember my folks had friends that lived in a big old house down river aways from Williamsport - RIGHT down on the river. When it finally crested, it was about knee high on the second floor.

Also knew numerous people that were washed out out on the Loyalsock and the Lycoming Creeks.
