I'm guessing this is due to water levels and not something else?

They'll all be driving away in SUVs, thus causing more global warming and bad weather. (/sarcasm)

Might be for aesthetic reasons. They should evacuate Detroit next. ;)

Heard the PA Nat'l Guard just pulled off a rescue in Conklin. When do they expect the Susquehanna to crest?

Time to fire up the FEMA $2,000 card machine. Don't be evacuated without it.
