ValleyPA Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Hope for the best for you, Mary. Stay safe Thanks, Jamie. We're better off than lots of people. I've been looking over the Leb. Co. EMA webpage, and the region is full of ongoing car rescues and flooded basements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pawatch Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Most towns have some roads closed but a dam is breaching above picture rocks. Glen Mawr has a mandatory evacuation up, and they need helicopters to rescue people whose houses are in danger of washing away. But the helicopters cant fly. visibility is too low. Loyalsock is suppose to crest at 19.6 all time high. Just announced on the scanner. http://water.weather.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?wfo=ctp&gage=loyp1&view=1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1%22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hckyplayer8 Posted September 7, 2011 Author Share Posted September 7, 2011 Funny one for the day. A Great Blue Heron (marsh bird) in a farm field. Just off frame the water was probably 6" deep.

r-ville Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Radar shows the rain pretty nearly over for MDT for now. Is there another batch supposed to move in or something? Because I'm not seeing much at all more. Watch for the axis of the precip to orient s/e - n/w as the trough goes slightly negative. Much more moisture to tap and there's plenty of rogue cells still coming up through NC/VA Katia getss involved with her outer bands adding to the mix. Probaby the insane bands are done for the Cap region for now. But we're not out of the woods just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voyager Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Hearing word that the fire cheif wants to shutdown the city of Palmyra. He wants 422 closed going both directions. I could see that happening. They did it in Tamaqua back in 2006 when they thought the Tuscarora Dam would fail. All entrances to town were barricaded.

ValleyPA Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Hearing word that the fire cheif wants to shutdown the city of Palmyra. He wants 422 closed going both directions. I wonder about the 422 sinkhole in Palmyra. I'm in Annville and definitely staying put. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PennMan Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 My 10-11 minute drive home from work took upwards of 25 minutes today. Tried three different routes before there was one I felt safe on. Haven't seen water like this since Ivan in 2004. We've had 2.57" today, for a storm total of 7.49" so far. Hopefully this break we're in sticks around a bit longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hckyplayer8 Posted September 7, 2011 Author Share Posted September 7, 2011 I wonder about the 422 sinkhole in Palmyra. I'm in Annville and definitely staying put. I use to work at the bowling alley. It probably opened up and swallowed the place. My 10-11 minute drive home from work took upwards of 25 minutes today. Tried three different routes before there was one I felt safe on. Haven't seen water like this since Ivan in 2004. We've had 2.57" today, for a storm total of 7.49" so far. Hopefully this break we're in sticks around a bit longer. I think this might surpass Ivan. There are flooded roads, that I have never seen flooded before. Roads that are nowhere near creeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
