Sunny and Warm Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 The Little Lehigh flooding has passed Floyd. Only 20 feet from the house. I'm hoping that the lighter rain will help crest it soon. It's crawling toward the house, but has slowed significantly. Need a couple more hours of little to no rain to have it reverse course. Edit: KDIX being down through most of this storm was untimely to say the least. Not happy with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quakertown needs snow Posted August 28, 2011 Author Share Posted August 28, 2011 Lost power a few times over night. Longest time without power 45min around 1am. Very surprised we have power considering our wooded area and past power outages. Total rain so far 7.80". Hope everyone is okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gump Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I'm in Toms River and i've been without power since 130am. Just some small branches down in the immediate area. Parents are on the mainland side of the Barnaget Bay and say the water was coming up right to the top of the bulkhead as of 45 minutes ago.

LVblizzard Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I woke up at 5 last night to see what it was like outside...it was raining very heavily but the wind wasn't what I expected.

SP Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Just drove through the wall farmingdale area. Streams over the banks by Atlantic ave and farmingdale .....just before the old Kelly chevy dealer. Road was closed off an hour ago. Loads of limbs and trees down along the road side but kudos to the crews who had everything already cleared and cut. Waiting for power crews to repair blown transformers.There was power along rt 34 and farmingdale road. Spring lake boardwalk took a hit......loads of damage. From what I could see it is not as bad as 92 storm. Similar loss of the elevated boardwalk but it was not tossed far from position......I.e. Onto ocean ave or so. Now that is just the stretch I am looking at.This storm appears to be about 70% of the 92 storm.....minus any rain and flooding of streams and rivers........which obviously is a bigger issue due to high totals for the month and net new.I'm heading into Belmar soon.........more later.......

NortheastPAWx Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Until further notice, Mayor Leighton has ordered an evacuation of the low lying areas surrounding Solomon Creek in South Wilkes-Barre. The creek remains within the channel walls but due to continued forecasted heavy rains, Mayor Leighton wants to give residents advanced notice to safely evacuate the area in-case the creek level rises above the wall. And we just briefly lost power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
