Got a little break in the weather we've been having here so I took a ride along the Susquehanna. Just a few days ago it crested over 25 feet due to the huge snow melt and heavy rain.
You can see the 25 foot mark on the stick closest to the river there. Fortunately the valley avoided severe flooding this time around. In 2011 the river crested over 41 feet, more than the levee was designed to hold, but it held. This valley was flooded badly in 1972, before the levee was in place. It has receded, but the river is still pretty high.
Some gulls doing their thing.
Flood gates at Market St. still up.
