Too Much Water
« on: September 08, 2011, 11:38:16 AM »
Well central PA is being hit by a flooding right now and it is supposed to get better.. I hope.. here are some pics fro East Berlin where I live.










Sorry but that is as many as I could get ... many rods here closed down due to flooding and high water..

I know Texas needs this more than we do..and there other places that are worse than we are.. so I do feel lucky right now.

I wonder what it would have looked like if they didn't remove the wall between east and west Berlin?   :devil

They call it "common sense", then why is it so uncommon?

I'll post pictures later, but that's pretty much the same thing I'm seeing here in Lancaster, PA.

My basement/room has been turned into a swimming pool.  :(

The Conestoga river looks like the Susquehanna river... anyone living on the Conestoga and not on a hill is screwed.

What's strange is to have rivers here in St Louis that are still high (just recently dropping back down to normal levels) but yet we haven't seen any rain here all summer.  All of our lawns are a nice tan/brown color but it sure is nice to not have to mow it!  I haven't had to cut my grass in over ten weeks now!

At least we have rivers here to draw water from.  I can't imaging what you guys are dealing with down in texas!

Had to drive to Wilkes Barre today and get my Mother, she was being evacuated, her house is about 2000ft from the river. In all my years ive never seen the Susquehanna as angry as she is right now. Moms here, high and dry (and safe thank god) and all her belongings are on the 2nd floor of the house, so fingers crossed she wont loose much (she has flood insurance, the advantages of having a son in the Insurance industry  :D) My sister in Bloomsburg is thankfully up in the hills of Scotch Valley, but they are thinking about 1/2 of the city proper will be flooded. They think the Susquehanna will crest at 42ft a record flood stage in Wilkes Barre, which is about 18" higher than the levees built after the city was wiped out during the '72 Hurricane Anges flood. Hope they are wrong  :pray

Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.

When the game is over, the Kings and Pawns all go into the same box.
