So sorry to hear you all just got hit by Irene. What is up w this weather this year? Glad to hear you had a generator. Husband keeps saying we need to get one. I know about how fast your water rose in your basement - how can it rise that quickly? It's amazing isn't it. We have water flash flooding like that here too. Are you all ok? I hope you were able to keep the water out of your house.
Here's a link from our local news for a slide show. My area is the pics in the high 90's (95 - 98). Mt. Joy area. We are up high, though, but I feel terrible for the ppl lower. The pics are the flooding on our Main St in Mt. Joy, our main route. Our main University hospital, Penn State, is having trouble getting ppl in and out due to the road buckling and the flooding.
