View of the Susquehanna River from the fifth floor of the Guard Insurance Building Thursday, September 8, 2011, in Wilkes-Barre, Pa. The Susquehanna is projected to crest in northeastern Pennsylvania between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. Thursday at 41 feet _ the same height as the levee system protecting riverfront communities including Wilkes-Barre and Kingston, officials said. More than 100,000 residents were ordered to flee the rising Susquehanna River on Thursday. (AP Photo/Mark Moran - The Citizens’ Voice) MANDATORY CREDIT
Last night’s debate highlight: Rick Perry visibly accosting Ron Paul. Can’t wait for Paul’s next anti-Perry ad after this. Who does Perry see as his real threat? …he sure didn’t do this to Romney.
This photo was good.. and so was the bloodthirsty audience rabidly applauding Rick Perry putting people to death. I think Ron Paul still won.
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.
