    TA staff woke me up and saw the flood water about 3 feet high, right at the bottom of my door. 4wheelers floating, and Some trucks couldn’t get out. Gotta love my old cat, she can swim!

    I work nearby... got called in to move some of our storage trailers and outside carrier's stuff to a hilltop site. That's a very low-lying area as it is, the Susquehanna River is not a quarter mile from that TA and there are streams coming off the hills that run under the side of their parking lot by Subway. Lots of the low-lying areas around here are pumping out this morning, which reminds me, I've got to go pump several inches of rain water out of my basement.
