r-ville Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Susq at Hbg is actually steady fall ATH. Probably responding to the not needed dose on the west branch tribs over night and this a.m. Will probl. just result in slowing the fall as opposed to pushing it back up to any concerning degree. Video on CBS 21 showed a school bus taking on a flooded roadway in York Co. I believe, during the height of the flooding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, that would be considered child endangerment for each kid on the bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Yeah the Susjy in harrisburg's at 21.1 and not going anywhere anytime real soon. Sherman's Creek is actually rising, I guess that's holding Harrisburg steady. What a f'n mess in the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r-ville Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 with kids on board?? If so, that would be considered child endangerment for each kid on the bus. They didn't say on the news - BUT, the videos were being shot from the inside of the bus and the voice sounded like school aged kids. A driver video from across the waterway shows just how dangerous this was. Someone's gonna be in trouble. http://www.ydr.com/ci_18859960?source=most_viewed Warning - Not for the feint of heart or tender ears! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunny and Warm Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Flash Flood Warning Not really needed at this point. agreed, but this should have a negligible effect on the West Branch. The watershed is much too big for a localized event to "move the needle" so to speak. However, for those in the flash flooding, it's always a big deal.

Jns2183 Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 I just hope we are done with tropical moisture in this area for the year. Sadly, we still have about another 6 weeks to go until we are out of the peak period. At least no storms seems to be coming up to this area in the next 10 days or so. God forbid we have another storm like irene, isabel, or hazel with the winds hitting all those trees with the now swamp ground holding the roots.

Yeah - really not an issue but won't help either. Good news is that the band has trained over to the OH Rvr watershed and is diminishing on its eastern edge of the W branch.

JamieOber Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 God if I knew where half the people posting on WBRE's Facebook page lived there would be a lot of computers thrown out of windows. People are seriously calling the lightning they see from the passing storm "heat lightning". --facepalm.jpg-- Careful, man. There are a lot of people, a surprising amount, who will get mad at you if you get annoyed at the term "heat lightning." http://www.americanwx.com/bb/index.php/topic/25449-heat-lightning/page__hl__heat+lightning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And all acres to Harrisnurg has been reopened. Finally. This past week sucked. Is this a German village?? jk. Spotty showers have been around the area most of the day, only light amounts. The end of this week looks interesting, the cool down may provide some of the NW valleys with the first frost of the fall. I think I even spotted the 0°C line on the upper level map over the great lakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieOber Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Rescuers finally found Mark's body. Finally his wife can have closure. I missed this - who's Mark? Sorry to hear about it. Unbelievable lightning earlier in Williamsport!! I was scared to walk to my car after work. Last night we had a tiny storm that was barely three pixels on radar put out an incredible amount of lightning. The setup must have been perfect for lightning yesterday. http://www.wnep.com/weather/severeweatherhome/wnep-in-lycoming-county-people-still-stranded-20110911,0,4700790.story Check this out...just unbelievable!! Good Lord. My boss is from Bloomsburg and his parents' house was badly damaged. Wow...terrible. Still a number of roads closed in Lebanon County, including the two easiest routes to work....have to take a roundabout way to get there. The road I live on is washed out about a mile from the house...dunno when it will be fixed. My brother told me the same about York County. Unreal.

sauss06 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 just a little tid bit i find interesting. My area of Cumberland County has been hit severel times this year with various storms. From ice during the winter, Hurricane remnents, tornados and other bad storms blowing through. the local firehouse has responded to 126 calls for service just for storm related issues. That was before this flooding. I think the last count was 62 additional calls for rain/flood issues. Thats close to 200 calls just for storms, on top of all their other fires, vehicle crashes etc. Other then Harrisburg city, the surrounding areas are all volunteer. These men and women are doing an outstanding job right now. There will be stories coming out of central Pa, of heroic rescues made during this last round of floods, by swift water rescue crews, river recue teams and other boat teams from here and out of town crews brought in from Western Pa and other areas of the State.

My wife's company let the river rescue team use their parking lot / building for a command post since their building was flooded out. That group is truly a remarkable outfit.
