…..and it has not been fun.
THIS MAY BE ONE OF THE WORST AND UGLIEST SUMMERS I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED IN MY LIFE.
Miserable. Rain. Flooding.
Today, rain caused issues in Pine Grove, Frackville, Tremont, Tower City..Palo Alto.. Cumbola.. Ashland .. The Pioneer Tunnel Closed! Knoebels closed!
Doused with rain..
AND that ever growing sinkhole in Lancaster PA grew bigger. . . no end in sight to the growth of the creature underneath swallowing the earth..
FROM CBS NEWS.. They are in PORT CARBON!
More than 20 million people on the East Coast are threatened by dangerous weather. Heavy rain has already triggered flash flood emergencies in parts of New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
“It came up really fast and we started evacuating a daycare and rescued thirteen children,” said Mayor Harold Herndon.
Pennsylvania residents were taken by surprise by how fast the water rose Monday, flooding homes, floating cars and buckling roads. One dramatic rescue in Phoenixville, west of Philadelphia, was caught on tape, showing a 12-year-old trapped in a pile of branches. In central Pennsylvania, the fire department in Tremont fielded calls for help by boat.
Shortly before 5 p.m., sirens blared warning residents on the west side of Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, to evacuate their homes because the Fish Creek was quickly rising and covering W. Main Street, the Bloomsburg Police Department announced.
This warning sounding tonight as I write:
Residents of the West end of Bloomsburg need to Evacuate immediately. Fishing Creek is crossing the road on Route 11/West Main Street. The water is rising quickly. Evacuate now
And from LANCASTER tonight:
SINKHOLES EVERYWHERE! WHAT CAN WE DO!?
CREWS CONTINUE WORKING AT THE SINKHOLE.
