Anyone near Hershey, Pa Flooding

[Seadoobuddy]

.....Then we have Texas with no water in their lakes....

HERSHEY, Pa. — More than 100,000 residents were ordered to flee the rising Susquehanna River on Thursday as the remnants of Tropical Storm Lee dumped more rain across the Northeast, socking areas still recovering from Hurricane Irene and closing major highways at the morning rush.

The Susquehanna is projected to crest in northeastern Pennsylvania between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. Thursday at 41 feet — the same height as the levee system protecting riverfront communities including Wilkes-Barre and Kingston, officials said. Residents were ordered to leave by 4 p.m.

Hershey is about a 1.5 hours up the road from me.
Here we have our own rivers to worry about.
The Schuykill is running nearly as fast as at the height of the hurricane last week.

At least the crest is lower.

Normally the level never goes above 8-9 feet, there is a low head dam just below the guage. By 12 feet, the water below the dam has backed up over the top of the dam and it just disappears.


At 3pm today the USACE opened the gates at the dam on Blue Marsh Lake to prevent it from overflowing. It drains into the Schuykill.

Maybe we should keep the discussion going here. Lord knows this thread could use a good hijacking.

OhOh, just looked out the winder and the crick outback is getting a little high and the fish are in danger of getting wet. But I'll start a new thread on that.
