As of 8 AM, Northampton County Emergency Services reports widespread power outages, is predicting major flooding along the Delaware River at Easton, and minor flooding along the Lehigh River at Walnutport. The best news is that there were no reports of any casualties at that time.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
I was going to joyride through dangerous standing water until I got the Ken Kraft notification. Whew!
ReplyDeleteThank God we have another Long Dem like Ken Kraft, Democrat seeking office in District one, telling us not to do anything dangerous.
ReplyDeleteI too am very thankful. The lengths folks will go to to become an O'Hare mancrush.
Bethlehem Area School District is closed... No Monday break from the kids for the adults
ReplyDelete3.9 inches of rain at my house. Lost a branch on a Bradford Pear.
ReplyDeleteThe storm two weeks ago delivered 5.8 inches and tore flashing from my house.
This storm was a bit overdone.
The best part was watching Ichabod Koltnow on the hokey local station standing in waist deep water telling people not to stand in waist deep water. He looked like a superhero being buffeted by wind and rain until a couple of locals strolled by smiling and waving behind him.
Ridiculous.
I live in Easton and the city did a great job throughout the storm. I have to give credit to our mayor. He was out there and reassuring everyone that everything would be okay and it was. Kudos Mayor Panto.
