Parsley Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 It may be nice to have a spot to post pictures/videos of her impact to our area. After spending plenty of time down on the shore of Delaware this summer the thought of what it will look like after Sunday makes me quite somber. Feel free to post whatever you want.

Parsley Posted August 27, 2011 Author Share Posted August 27, 2011 Pre-storm pictures down along the Perkiomen Creek in Graterford where forecasts between a 14-15 16-17 feet crest are expected. The bridge is the Plank Road bridge that connects Rt. 29 to Rt. 73 just south of Schwenksville, PA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsley Posted August 27, 2011 Author Share Posted August 27, 2011 The park where I took picture will likely be under several feet of water, if not more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boch23 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I will definitely have pictures to post after this. Already have my plan mapped out for getting to different parts of darby creek in lansdowne. And my scanner ready to hear of any trees down in my area.

I'm hoping tomorrow afternoon once the worst has passed I can walk down to the creek (since parking areas will be flooded for sure) and get some pictures of the aftermath.I'm expecting the 3 main routes in my area between Rt 29 and Rt 73 to be closed due to flooding.

JCT777 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Nice pics, Parsley. I know the Plank Road bridge very well. I'll see if I can get any pics near Spring Mountain tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope to see some pics. if you can.....I walk up that way once in awhile. Can't believe they are forecasting a crest at over 16' now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BucksCO_PA Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Just got back from a quick tour of the general area, obviously anywhere near the Neshaminy Creek is a mess, over 19' currently & still rising. Area around Neshaminy Mall in Bensalem is without power, many large trees down around the mall & in adjacent Neshaminy Valley including one that fall on a car at Old Lincoln Hwy & Rock Hill Rd across from the mall. Neshaminy Creek has overflowed onto Bristol Rd just above Old Lincoln Hwy, road is clearly impassable but that didn't stop some donkey from drowing his vehicle. Hulmeville Borough is in particularly bad shape, water has surrounded many homes, the Adventureland Day Camp is completely submerged & water has closed Main St. Finally Playwicki Park off of 213 is RIP, it'll be a long time until they reopen. Parking lot of the Bensalem Veterinary Clinic on Bristol Road, my Malibu was under 3' of water during Floyd, creek has risen over a foot since these photos: After I took this photo some idiot tried to try through in a small compact car - needless to say the story didn't end well Playwicki Park in Langhorne just above the offical gauge: Tree on car in Bensalem near Neshaminy Mall Flooding off of Main St in Hulmeville Borough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep 'em coming! Did you get any shots of Adventureland from the Bensalem side? I remember driving over the Hulmeville Road bridge during Floyd just as the tents at the camp started floating away and collapsing. That moment is what got me into meteorology in the first place.

Parsley Posted August 28, 2011 Author Share Posted August 28, 2011 Great pics everyone. I just spent about an hour down on the Perkiomen Creek taking pictures. Hope to have them on here by tonight. That Neshaminy Creek looks nasty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
