September 16, 2011. Dunmore, Pa. The Flooding.
It is interesting sitting at the bar eavesdropping to the conversations. The flooding in Pennsylvania was the main topic. Each group of people were describing the extent of the flooding in the area where they lived and work. I had read about the flooding and had seen pictures of the flooding but nothing I saw and heard was anything like I overheard at the bar tonight. Apparently, the flooding this year was worse that five years ago. Apparently, the area is still a mess. Wilkes Barre and Scranton were hit hard as were all towns along the Susquehanna River. People are helping each other, lending pumps and blowers but it is a long way from normal. You can read about it and you can see it, but listening to the people who are here trying to help, brought it up front and center with me. The flooding was massive.
