The rains came down and the floods came up

Cliche title, I know.

Ok, my blog break is over, because OH MY HECK is it flooding here. Central PA hasn't seen flooding this bad since Agnes in '72, and we're supposed to get more heavy rain tonite into tomorrow, so it will probably exceed records. Here are some pictures that people have put up on the local news facebook page:

This is taken from the Applebees/Panera area of Hershey/Hummelstown, looking out over what is usually a busy highway now completely submerged.

This is on 422 between Annville and Palmyra.

Ok, so the first picure I showed. This is on the opposite side of that highway-turned-river. This is from the view of Sheetz in Hummelstown, looking out over Pizza Hut that became totally submerged and has collapsed since.

Oh hey underwater police car in Derry Township.

Some dude canoing down the middle of a street.

Here's another view like the first picture. People who know Hummelstown and Hersheypark Drive can understand how crazy this is. The Mcdonald's, Wendy's, and Pizza Hut are all under water.

And oh, what do you know? It just started pouring here again, here comes 3 more inches of rain. I live on a hill and don't have a basement so we should be safe, but say a prayer for the people of Central PA. The rain isn't letting up til tomorrow, and rivers are only expected to crest (major flood levels) in a few days. People have several feet of water in their basements already. It's a pretty serious deal.

P.S. Thanks for the happy thoughts from the last post. I'm feeling much better and you guys are the best, I appreciate it. =)
