Flooding continues in the northeast...

 Greta isn't watching the flood report but is awaiting patiently to see if another cat comes on television
Last night the turnpike was closed from Reading to Harrisburg because of flooding.  We are seeing awful images on our television of the damage that has been occurring in our state.  My mother's family is from the Sunbury region so this has a personal impact on us.  I didn't think in my lifetime that I would see another Hurricane as bad as Agnes was in the early 70's but here it is.  Check out the photos on WNEP.com for images of what's been happening in the western part of the state.

Locally we've had some flooding, some schools are closed but the good news is that our rivers are now receding...although I hear we have more storms a-coming this afternoon.

 Hope you all are safe and keep dry...don't take chances!

I sure hope things start to dry out soon. Wish we could send some of the rain to Texas! Take good care of you and yours.

I can't believe part of your country is so dry, and you are having floods... just like us here in Oz. at times..
Just love the photo of Greta watching for a cat!!

I hope a kitty came on to entertain Greta!

The flooding - and the other extremes of nature that seem to be happening at the same time - are devastating :( There aren't many people who can say they don't know anyone that hasn't been impacted - if one area escapes problems, their neighbours are likely affected somehow. This is a time when people definitely need to look out for and help their friends and neighbours!
