Easton flood zone
It has been a few days since I updated this, mostly because everything has been moving so fast (or I have been very slow?) since I finally got to my sister's place in Easton.
There has been a tremendous amount of rain over the last week and there were worries that the rivers would spill over their banks and flood parts of the town. On Tuesday, my sister Sandy and I went to investigate. As you can see, the water was running pretty high and some places that should not have been underwater actually were.
That was pretty exciting, but it got much worse. We were in Mexico, so we missed most of it. When we got back last night, however, we walked around and checked it out. This was the fourth-worst flood for Easton ever, and more ominously, the third time in two years that the rivers (Delaware, Lehigh and Bushkill) had jumped their banks.
The waters receded today, but a lot of people are busy cleaning up. Terrible.
