Lancaster, Lebanon, Dauphin, Cumberland, York—all up and down the river valley. Same areas as during Agnes, 1972.

Hershey Park is underwater. Most major highways closed...and it’s still raining!

...and it’s still raining!

Western York County has had about five hours of blessed relief from the rain, but the wind is now picking up from the NE.

After 12 1/2 inches of rain it won't take much of a breeze to bring down shallow rooted trees that are in full, saturated leaf.

I've lost four so far. Free firewood.
