I feel your pain! I haven’t seen this much rain since Agnes in ‘72, and we all know what that did!
They are erecting the flood wall in Wilkes-Barre, but fear the crest will overtop it. Mnay lowlying towns have gotten the order to evacuate by midnight!
We need prayers up here and all up and down the Susquehanna Valley.
And yes...I wish there were some way to redirect the flow to Texas!
Still, I’d rather have flood than fire because there is enough warning to get to higher ground.
Good luck! Hope your pumps hold out.
I've been a southcentral Pennsylvanian all of my 51 year life, so I do remember Agnes ('72) and Eloise ('75).
I also remember all of the farmland that has been paved over in the intervening 29 years.
It won't take as much rain this time to produce the same effect.
Speaking of thoughts, here's one for ya:
Just saw a thread title re snakes being found in a school somewhere.
Given the water levels here, folks along the river and creeks are liable to find some fauna surprises when they start cleanin' up the mess !
(instantaneously grateful for being 2mi from the river ;-)
