Here are some pics from the Lewisburg area from about an hour ago.
Bear in mind that the Susquehanna won't crest til sometime tomorrow or Saturday, and at a significantly higher level than in these pics.

The first two were taken from the I-80 bridge over the Susquehanna, just a couple hundred yards from where the Interstate is closed to the east .. from the river to at least Bloomsburg.
Looking north at what is usually Rt.405 headed to Watsontown, but now totally submerged.
The traffic signs on the right stand about 8ft above the ground.
Next one is looking west toward the river.
The trees in the foreground just off the nose of my truck sit well back from the riverbank, and a good 8' above the water on a normal day.
This one is looking north from Market St. in Lewisburg at the old railroad bridge.
Normal river level is about 8-10ft below what you see on those piers .. well, the little bit of the piers you cansee.
The Market St. bridge crossing the river into Lewisburg from the east is closed.
This has prompted a celebratory atmosphere of folks gawping at the bazillion gallons of chocolate milk haulin' ass to the Chesapeake Bay.
Terrible flooding!
How’s Bloomsburg and Berwick doing? I saw Benton is under water.
