More Flood Updates

Walt Linden has forwarded the following notes from folks in the flood area along the PA/NY border.  
From Ed & Sylvia Plaisted:
Walt & Beryl,  We did get some water in our cellar, but it is nothing compared with    what happened just a few miles east of us in Athens, PA and Owego, NY.  It is very bad.  We are so thankful that we did not get any river water.  What we got was surface water and it was very minimal.  Thanks so much for thinking of us.  Sylvia
From Barb Kotar
We finally ventured out today. We were on the mountain since Wednesday and I was getting cabin fever.  Part of the road going down the mountain is washed out but still passable. The only thing is when you get to the bottom that road is closed. The bridge that connects to town is out ( the road is washed away) so we now have a detour that is about  20-25 miles up over the mountain and down another way to the only bridge that is opened at this point.  The downtown is a mess as most of it had at least 4 to 5 feet of water and now they are dealing with mud. They are not letting anyone go into town unless you have a home or business there, and can produce proper identification. This is going to a long long clean up. I hope everything goes OK for your trip in a week or so. Take care and be safe in your travels.

Barbara
