Waters Rise

Wow...there is water EVERYWHERE in central PA.
A storm system that stalled over top of us brought rain...LOTS of rain.  And the rain brought flooding...LOTS of flooding.

Lancaster County was hit hard:

Lititz Springs Park

Linear Park under water in Lititz

772 near Brownstown

Route 23 crossing the Conestoga River

Main Street in Denver

322 in Ephrata

Green Dragon under water

Crazy fools in Mount Joy


And Lebanon County was hit just as badly:

Collapsed roads

More roads washing away 

And then there are areas farther north near my parents:

Poor Knoebels Amusement Park  :-(


Crazy high waters surround all the bridges heading into my hometown.  Mandatory evacuations for some areas had been put in place:

Route 11 bridge heading into the underpass in Norry
That's a BRIDGE...the water is usually WAY down below.

The Susquehanna is taking over



When the waters rise around me I am safe
In the valley Lord, You are near always
You have me surrounded by Your grace
When my strength is gone, I won't be afraid
You are with me always
