More snow and ice coming Sunday into Monday. The scene may get even colder looking..

Meanwhile in Plymouth Township and West Pittston

West side officials: flooding worse than Agnes

All history of flooding in his area has been compared with Agnes… it was the storm of the age. This new, Lee fellow, came and swept history aside and gave even more devastation than Agnes could.. truly unbelievable developments continue today as streams that flow into the mighty Susquehanna are now backing up, too… unbelievable..

Flood water are leading to very desperate situations in Pennsylvania

25% of Bloomsburg is flooded— this is some of the worst flooding since 1904.. parts of Nanticoke are so inundated with water that entire buildings are covered.. Streams that drain into Susquehanna River are backing up and now endangering neighborhoods that weren’t in danger of flooding.. There are houses floating down rivers and being destroyed as they cannot make under bridges..City Island in Harrisburg is covered.. Front Street in Harrisburg is flooded..Shipoke flooded.

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..

This composite is the amount of rainfall in a 24-hour period ending 6am this morning..It’s almost like God has cursed this area.. the exact locations of the heaviest is where the Susquehanna River picks up steam.. This is unheard of rainfall.. As said before, some of this rain, 9 inches or more in some locations, is what these areas get in three months… that much rain in 1 day. Amazing.. and unforgettable.

I THINK WE CAN THANK KATIA..

…take a look at radar and satellite. Katia is so large and so strong in the Atlantic it seemingly is blocking Lee from moving out!

Every time the rain seems to end, more forms.. all the way down to Virginia.. still a line of storms and strong rain. And even worse for those on the Susquehanna River West Branch, the rain will fall on top.. and maybe effect the North Branch.. and maybe cause a big fluctuation in how much this river is going to rise..

Records are being set.. rainfall totals of 9 inches? That is an entire season of rain.. .. and this is just in a day. 

Unbelievable. Amazing. Unheard of. Historic. And something we will WANT to forget.
