I'm in eastern PA, probably 150 miles inland from the jersey shore. Still, we got hit pretty hard. Especially with the rain. Lived here my whole life and we've had floods but never before like this. Highest I heard was 18'.

Haven't heard of anyone hurt, but the property damage is through the roof. The river came up 19', breaking the previous record back in 1935. Fortunately no damage to my house or property, but I'm out of power for the next 5 days. I have a 10kw generator but it's thirsty running the ac and cooking appliances.

Wow, sorry to hear/see that- I thought we had it bad here with a few trees down on our property.
I hope your insurance gets you whole again.

Besides being the birthplace of our nation, isn't Pennsylvania also famous floods? Johnstown comes to mind. Not meaning to make light of your problems, You have my sympathy. It looks really horrible. I can't imagine something like that; it's not something we have to contend with very much in this state, especially where I live...tornadoes, yeah, but not floods.

We had a horrible flood here to clean up Wednesday 6 inches of rain in 5 hours and again last night we got a 4 supercell of rain in 1 hour on top of the already saturated rivers & ground. I Had a lot of Large hay bales ruined that were stacked about 1/4 mile from local river. Many ended up 1/4 mile downstream and on a local road.
Its been a crazy year. :confused2::confused3:

Just to make it home I had to take a chance and try to cross a flooded stream. I did not like doing that one bit.
Nothing like the big midwestern floods. I really cant imagine that kind of disaster

Fortuantely it didn't get me. It did get a lot of people though. Normally we're pretty natural disaster proof, no tornado's, to far inland for hurricanes, no earthquakes. This rain though was something else.
