Watching this story all night, due to another situation I also have to watch :(
Many areas will go ten feet above flood stage. Sunbury can probably handle a little more before the river goes over the wall. Most major roads and backroads too are closed, schools closed, county govt closed in Northumberland, cell phone service is reported out in places, and some oil tanks have collapsed at a heating oil facility on or near Route 61 (per newsitem.com).
That is all coal country — most famously, the underground fire of Centralia is in the region affected. Erosion will threaten many homes.
Seven to ten inches of rain in the past 3 days, and 10 feet over flood stage is reported in many areas.

, the underground fire of Centralia is in the region affected.

Maybe some of this water will crush some of it's advance across the region. I have visited Centralia and it's the most eerie place seeing smoke come out of the ground and bare trees all around. Cracked and lifted roads. For the most part the area has been abandoned.

It's a for real mess, no doubt.

Here's a link to the online version of the local rag:  Daily Item.

Only God knows how many gallons the two big sumps have pumped away from the house, but so far I've dealt with ~1,200 gallons with the big shopvac that eluded the sumps.

My acre's on top of a little hill, so all the above is purely rain water.
The folks for whom it'll be a total pita are the flatlanders who've had the river/creeks backing up into their homes and will have to ..wait.. to clean up.

Good news for the moment is that the rain seems to have washed the crosshairs off the roof !
The deluge stopped earlier this morning, and what's left is sliding by northwards and off to the west.
Judging by the radar, another 2-3hrs and sky's should finally begin to clear.

Not as sexy as a hurricane perhaps, but it'll do til one comes along.
