Bridge in Montoursville withstood the flood waters. The Loyalsock Creek is going down now, and local danger is past.

I have seen pics of Troy and Towanda...it’s bad up there.

Tonight everyone will be keeping vigil in Wilkes-Barre to see if the flood walls hold.

Gov. Corbett looked very worried in his press conference tonight. Everything is headed to Harrisburg now.

This will be a four or five day event.

Good luck to all those downriver!
