r-ville Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Heard some reports that the Susq. has crested and is falling (at Harrisburg). Seems quite early compared to what I had been hearing yesterday. 23.88 and falling as we speak - yes faster than anticipated. Still posting a re-crest at 25.2 but ATM that seems dubious.

djr5001 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 WNEP is reporting a crest of 42.66 on WBRP1? Apparently the guage is damaged... I wonder how many guages along Susquehanna are damaged from these record heights Danville Middle School now under water and apparently wasn't a little over an hour ago. May be levee breach there as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canderson Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I'm alive but no power til Subday pm at earliest, says PPL. There is literally human feces all in the river. Sewage plants upstream is the reason. River falling but they say it will have a double crest and be about 1/2' higher than the first?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sewage plants upstream is the reason. River falling but they say it will have a double crest and be about 1/2' higher than the first?! I have a hard time believing that double crest. I think they just haven't updated the forecast, which seems odd considering how often they were revising the forecast upward throughout the week. Is the stench noticeable? I'm thinking my windows might stay closed for a couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r-ville Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I have as much trouble with that double crest as I do with smelling the God awful stench. Just got back from a drive down the now almost totally above water Front St. What a debris field left behind. Bring in the front end loaders!!

AlexP Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 CBS 21 in Harrisburg just had a segment explaining why they are expecting a double crest, but unfortunately I only caught the very last few words of it. It apparently has something to do with the record crest in Wilkes-Barre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
