How's everyone doing after the rain? My town wasn't affected, but every other town around me was, as far north as the Wilkes-Barre - Scranton area seems to be under water. It's the first time I've ever seen lifeboat rescues in Philadelphia streets. Unreal.

Brandywine creek flooded so bad that the only road into a town was closed. That sucks for those people. Some rivers aren't expected to crest until tomorrow night! I'm on the third floor so I'm not worried about flooding. As far as business goes....a couple local dealerships were closed today because they were flooded out. I've never seen or heard of anything like this. It's crazy, it wasn't flash flooding that caught people off gaurd here....it's the long term flooding from 5 days of constant rain. This weekend's forecast promises more rain! It's going to be interesting come Monday.

Conowingo Dam has a ton of flood gates open due to the height of the Susquehanna which is pretty cool to see. Naturally that has caused flooding so Rt 222 through Port Deposit has been closed.

We haven't had any problems at my home but there still is water running in a small stream down my driveway.

I live on a hill on the outskirts of Felton. It has two creeks running through it. Last year they flooded out and I had to find different ways to work. Luckily, they didn't overfill this time.

LOL, yeah I've basically been living at work for the last 2 days (not because of rain, but because of business) and you know how wonderful my phone reception is. My town didn't get touched believe it or not! everywhere else around me is f'd though.
