Going to the ABC site to check out the pictures. WGAL had some of East Market St and 83 overpass yesterday where cars were flooded and floating. Thats a bad area because Memorial Hospital is right down the street, that must have affected the ambulance traffic

I drove around fo an hour yesterday trying to get into Hershey to work before I gave up and came home. Every road I went on had standing water. VERY scary!
Yeah, that's what took him so long to get out of York. Most of the towns are having problems because their water treatment plants are under water. They are saying the Susquehanna is going to peak at levels all but as high as when Agnes went thru in '72.
