They named it "Lee"--the Sept. 2011 Flood. We are still dry here on Orange Street, but the Sunrise basement is under 6 inches (& counting) of water. Heard that parts of a nearby county got 16 inches of rain since Monday.
Major roads are closed. Manheim & Elizabethtown are flooded. The Susquehanna River is expected to crest on Saturday. We're definitely setting records & making headlines here.
Two weeks ago Hurricane Irene tore through here and brought down a huge chunk of our neighbor's hemlock & part of our magnolia--filled our backyard.
It opened up a new patch of sky, which has me planning which flowers I'll be able to plant in the spring. And we are still "dry" here. But I'm waiting for the sun.
