High and Dry

So much rain over the weekend and then seeing all the flooding in Reading and Pottstown not to mention Washington. Checked in on my Dad and he wasn't concerned but on Tuesday night they were calling for a crest in the 'burg of 25 feet. Come on down, he said. By Wednesday morning it appeared to be only a 20.5' crest early Friday morning but he still gets water in the basement at 20'. doesn't mater if it is one foot or one inch, the stuff in the basement has got to be moved. So with Big J, I traveled last night and picked up some cinder blocks to raise the poor little sofa in the basement off the floor. We also took up some boxes and bags and I even got a real neat set of blue dishes. But the best find the experience had to be the link to the Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service. BTW - it crested today at 19.6' - blessings in disguise.
