I went thru the Pennsylvania flood of 1972. An entire city block in Harrisburg was consumed by flames because the fire engines could not drive through the flooded streets to put it out!

I know it seems ironic, but bad fires always seem to follow floods in cities.

I don't know about anybody else, but I cannot wait to read the next post about how much someone paid to fill up their gas tank tonite.

Sheesh people. Can't you wait until the corpses are cold before complaining about gas prices?

There's a set of tracks near me from the old PA Central Railroad. When Agnes came through she either undermined the creek where the tracks go alongside, or moved the tracks into the water. Either way, if you walk them today, the tracks dip off a 25' cliff, go down into the water, cone up to the top of the cliff again, and then do it all over again. I don't know if the rails had been originally welded together or whatever is keeping them together, but it's the darndest thing you ever saw.

IIRC, during the big Mississippi floods in the late 90's, severl entire blocks of one ND city burned to the ground..
