Thats some crazy crap. I know that floods cause deaths and all of that, but there is nothing I love more than a bunch of rain and driving around looking at flooded areas. I do not mean flooded houses, just creeks out of their banks and that kind of thing. I feel awful for people that do get flooded though, Im lucky enough to live on a hill with tons of trees. Good luck everyone!

It's a tragedy. I hope the feds act faster than they did down here. Good luck to all you folks in the northeast.

Yea its pretty crazy out here. The Delaware is getting pretty high, it was starting to overtake stop signs, and roads this morning on the ride in.
I'll try to get some pics on the way home.

It is interesting! Last year when I was Mayor I had to sign an executive order to evac the town due to the flooding. The first floors were all under water. One building was closed up so tight that the water broke a first floor window filled the building and came out an openned second floor window.

Now the delaware, which I am about 5 miles from is flooding both sides the NJ and Pa. sides. Luckly for the area I live in when the delaware floods we normally don't have to worry.

Fortunately for me, I'm high up on the hill above the Schuylkill River. Many of the streets near me that border the river are flooded and closed.

It finally stopped raining here! Holy cow! I've never seen such craziness from anything other than a hurricane!

Al...I built the back half of the arc before running out of nails...which part did you build? I have only been able to wrangle two dogs and 62,456,126,362,162,222 mosquitos so far...but the search continues.

Yes that is wicked.

I live in orange county NY juse east of the PA border/port jervice and we got some NAST rain early this morning. We had some flooding around here but not as bad as PA and port jervice.

Wish you all the best of luck and to be safe.
