Here's a deal for Texas..
You send up the tanks to PA and NY, and we’ll get you the water. We really don’t need it..
King’s Plaza in Minersville, PA, which is the home to one of the greatest restaurants in the Coal Region: Palermos. I wanted pizza today, too.. Guess that won’t work out.

It’s not just Pennsylvania: ashleeistanbul:
Before and current picture of Confluence Park, Binghamton, NY. Tropical storm Lee did what hurricane Irene couldn’t.
Good luck to all in that area.. And isn’t it something..Lee is doing what Irene couldn’t do. I like that.
Tornadoes.. floods.. fires.. and flares?
Spaceweather has this:
Earth-orbiting satellites have detected another strong flare from sunspot 1283. The X1.8-class event at 2238 UT on Sept. 7th produced a bright flash of extreme UV radiation and hurled an inky-dark plume of plasma into space. Click to view the movie from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory:
….earth just can’t take much more..
More:
Glancing blows from the three clouds will commence sometime on Sept. 9th and continue through Sept. 11th, possibly sparking minor geomagnetic storms
This Lee flooding is no joke..
AP reporting this dispatch:
A motorist trapped in a vehicle drowned early Thursday in Elizabeth Township, Lancaster County, Emergency Management Director Randy Gockley said.
Gockley says responders found 3 to 4 feet of water on the road as the nearby Hammer Creek went over its banks.

Mandatory evacuation of about 120,000 people ordered in northeast Pa.; Susquehanna River expected to crest at 39.6 feet
It’s going to be big.. bad.. immense. Historic. And something anyone involved will be thankful when it’s over.

And yes, I'm also worried about the Bloomsburg Fair
The greatest time of autumn is coming. Bloomsburg Fair season.. already the fair delayed vendors from setting up 9/11.. I certainly hope whatever rain and mud leftovers remain after waters subside can be cleaned .. and hopefully in time for the start of the great annual autumnal brilliance of pig pens and fried foods called the Bloomsburg Fair.

River worries..
I know what the projections say.. I know they are talking about rivers being dangerously above flood levels—and the highest since Agnes in ‘72. But something deep down thinks their projections are off a bit and the river levels may end up being higher than projected.. What is troubling me is the rain pattern, how it’s nonstop and seemingly forming all over again once its over..and all headed to the watershed areas that fuel and form the main burst that the Susquehanna River is going to have.. I just worry. Hope I’m wrong..
Accuweather report details out the river projections
The Susquehanna River at Harrisburg, Pa., is projected to crest 5 feet above major flood stage according to the National Weather Service hydrologists early this weekend. At this level, flooding will occur along heavily traveled routes 11 and 15, and US 22/322.
Widespread flooding will also inundate the residential sections of Front and Second Streets and in the city’s Shipoke area.
The Harrisburg Patriot News reports that Harrisburg Mayor Linda Thompson declared a state of emergency.
Flooding of roughly 25 percent of Bloomsburg, Pa., is projected, including major inundation of the Bloomsburg Fairgrounds. The projected crest of 31.5 feet should narrowly surpass the level recorded during the deluge unleashed by Agnes in 1972.
