Mother Nature must not be too happy lately...Markie is still covered in poison ivy from helping clean up after a small tornado brought down trees at Stacy's grandfather's house. The guys (along with Uncle John, Matthew, John, and Uncle Dave) spent last weekend cleaning up after the hurricane. Now this weekend will be spent cleaning up after a flood. At 1PM Markie headed home from work because the river was rapidly rising. The Susquehanna river rose in the Wilkes barre area 30ft in 36 hours. The power of water continues to amaze and scare me. Luckily Mark and Stacy's house is fine, unlike so many people in the area...
At 4PM the river was already at the edge of the alley behind the house.
Mark, Dad, and Ava assessing the rising water at 7PM.
Around 2am the river was predicted to crest. Mark and Stacy awoke to this...well they probably didn't sleep much throughout the night. About 18 inches of water in the garage. Luckily it wasn't worse.
Glad everyone is safe!
