Director Irene Now Lee: Northeast Flooding and Texas Wildfires - Our Towns in Crisis

A
akaskydebil
Please all keep the Northeast in your prayers. We are going under water while Texas is burning down. The worst flooding was in 1972 with Hurricane Agnes and we are AT that level now. Literally homes and businesses are up to their roof's in water. I'm sure it will be on the national news. We have rec'd an entire season (3mo) of rain in 1 day. We
have no levee's along the river here...the town is becoming the river. (Major Susquehanna River runs thru the town)

I personally am not in harms way but literally 6 blocks away from me the top of the stop sign is just sticking out of the water. Feel free to "friend" me on Facebook (Melissa Bunnell or /chattychef2) to see some local pics. I'm 25miles from Wilkes Barre (major city) which is also is under evacuation.

HO did call us (Directors) to check on us and our downlines. THought that was very nice. Guess they need to call again. LOL

Did I mention its STILL raining???? 9" of rain so far right above me. What is north, must flow south.

Yet Texas is burning by the minute....
 
Wouldn't it be nice if they could come scoop up some of the flood waters & come dust Texas! It would benefit all of us! Or build pipe lines across the country to pump it this way.
 
Praying for you all as well as for my friends in TX. I agree Sheila....maybe some of that rain will head this way.
