We woke to flooding all around the area. Rivers are expected to crest this afternoon into tomorrow. Old Forge, outside of Scranton, has gone over flood stage which is 11 feet - as of 11 PM they were at 12.5 feet. Tunkannock is projected to crest at over 17 feet - flood stage is 11 feet. Hawley is projected to crest at 15.7 feet with flood stage at 11. We were in Hawley this morning for breakfast. The river along Rt. 6 is over it’s banks and we were told almost up to the bridge. We took pictures around the Lake down by the cove where the boat is.
The path down to the Lake is now a stream and the access to the docks is under water. Here is Jeff where you would normally get on the docks. Where he is standing is NOT usually under water.
This is a picture from the Lake up to the houses. There are two houses on either side facing the Lake and this house has it's back to the Lake. This "stream" only shows up when we get a lot of rain and the amount of water is quite unusual!
