back to the boards... yes guys, Carol is a few miles down the river from me... Bloomsburg has been getting a lot of media attention. if i am correct, Bloomsburg would be about 45 min from me, and Carol is between me and Bloomsburg... I think that is right... but i am not sure if Berwick is on the river...i havent heard from her other than a message asking if i have to evacuate...hope Carol and her family are doing OK... things here are ok...my area isnt flooding (but my sister got it bad) not from the river, just back up from creeks around her area that have no where to go, so they backed up...crazy how things go... people on my sisters street were going up and down in row boats the water was so deep. hopefully they can get back into their homes...people are worried most about looting...the national guard has caught a few already...curfew for the whole county toinight 9pm-6am... even though the water level is starting to go down slowly, seems like they are still worried about the flood gates, levies, and dikes being able to hold this amount of water for so long without giving in...that is why i cant go home yet, since i live 2 blocks from the river, 3 from the main part of the river, where these flood gates are put up at the end of the bridges...the water is over the deck of the bridge, so they are just hoping the flood gates hold.. thanks everyone for your concern...has anyone else been touched by this mess aside from Northeast Pa? take care everyone, will check in again when i can.
