Where's Noah when ya need him???



We've been getting alot of rain lately... ALOT... By tonight the Delaware River in our area will be above flood level and lots of stuff will be under water. We don't live close enuff to any water that we'd have to worry about it, but it does effect me at work alot. The picture above is River Road... a state road... the purple lines are where the mule path and canal are usually, when they're not under water. The Red box is a street sign. The pole is totally submerged. The yellow circle is some people who live too close to the river bailing out their stuff. Yes... that is a real shark in the foreground eating one of my co-workers that got too close to the edge... And this is before the river has even reached it's peak...

Below is a park next a smaller river that dumps into the Delaware. Yesterday all that stuff that I scribbled over was under water. That's all receded now.... into the Delaware. So much water was coming down the road that it washed out TONS of modified that were the shoulder of the road. We were there today repairing and black topping it so it doesn't happen again.
