Itstrainingtime Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 My kids were dismissed from school, but the bus can't make it to school to bring them home. My wife has tried 3 different roads, all closed. School wants the kids out... This is getting unreal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sauss06 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I can understand the thought, but no way anyone can tell me that after I get there they won't release my child. OMDB! I'm taking my kid - this is not a nanny state last time I checked (or is it?) No, they are allowing parents to pick up their children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieOber Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I just read that on Pennlive. It probably is the best thing, to shelter them in place. Its not an uncommon move during an emergency situation. I can understand the thought, but no way anyone can tell me that after I get there they won't release my child. OMDB! I'm taking my kid - this is not a nanny state last time I checked (or is it?) But not letting parents pick up kids is, well, flat-out wrong. I'd go ballistic if I had a kid there I couldn't pick up. It's not like the world's ended out there - only a few roads AT THIS TIME are washed out. Think they are letting them get the kids. On the flip side of things, 60% of drowning deaths start with this thought "oh, my car can make it the road's not flooding too bad" and then the last thought the person has was "why was I so stupid".

JamieOber Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 One thing, after talking to volunteer firefighters who have nearly died due to rescuing morons who think "ain't no one gonna tell me my bad ass truck/SUV ain't gonna make it across the road", I kind of have zero sympathy for those who need to be water rescued.

So if my kid was stuck at school, i'd let them there. Maybe because of what i've seen the last 30 years. Safety 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r-ville Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 According to the district's website, parents will not be permitted to pick their students up at the schools, and student drivers are not permitted to leave. http://www.abc27.com/story/15410602/students-will-be-kept-at-west-hanover-es-central-dauphin-hs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, what to do when the school lets out, they won't take the kids home, and yet they say the kids must be out ASAP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKEWT charts showed this beautifully on the 0z run - so I expected it and tried to warn everyone in my set. Some paid heed, some didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 there is more then you think. Well, that was worded too harshly; I have a friend who can't pick up her kid, but lives .5 miles from the school and has no problems getting there. Yet, she can't get her OWN KID. That's wrong.

EasternUSWX Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Figured eastern PA would be bullseye. Always is. Goes from Johnstown to Harrisburg in 12 HRs. Great job models. At least I got hockey practice in Hershey later. Maybe.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hckyplayer8 Posted September 7, 2011 Author Share Posted September 7, 2011 School Districts thinking they can boss the parents around. Nothing new. Walk in, get your loved ones and give them the middle finger as you walk out. ****s getting real here. Looking out the window the water is almost over the road at the bottom of the hollow (very small creek runs through it). When that floods (during Agnes and only a handful of times), you know this area has gotten a ton of rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sauss06 Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 I called my wife 30 minutes ago and told her she needed to get out of Hershey and start heading home before she couldn't make it. She just called and told me the Swatara creek is almost over the bridge on RT 39 for those of you who know where that is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife works at 13th @ Paxton; I honestly don't know how she's going to make it here to midtown. I'm assuming Cameron @ Paxton is flooded out, as is all other Cameron intersections she'd need. I guess she can take 83S > 581W > 15N and come across Harvey Taylor to 2nd or 3rd, that area doesn't flood. Any other way you could think of?

hckyplayer8 Posted September 7, 2011 Author Share Posted September 7, 2011 Wunderground is down but the cell that just crossed over the I81/I78 exchange is fookin nasty. Very pronounced gust front with it. Went from light and variable wind to gusting at least 40 mph back to light and variable in under a minute.
