Loyalsock Creek at Montoursville Bridge a few hours ago. This is right above where it dumps into the Susquehanna.

Montoursville is going to get it pretty bad, again. This town has flooded from this creek many times in the past. They also suffered the loss of all those students on Flight 800.

Oh, man! I live near there, but way up on a hill. We cross that bridge to go to Church on Sunday.

The bridge itself is not in great shape. If it washes out, there’s no other way across.

I have heard the (Loyalsock) bridge has collapsed, but not confirmed it was the truss bridge. Hard to imagine. :(

Pennsylvania State Police confirm the Loyalsock Bridge over Loyalsock Creek (Slabtown Bridge) near Montoursville has collapsed.

The railroad bridge south of Broad Street has sustained heavy damage
