Re: revelation/now flooding

Nope.  Just talked to the folks in Bear Creek.  Dad's got his sump pumps
going in the basement but they're up on the mountain thank God.
Wilkes-Barre is being evacuated.  Dad says the river should crest around
midnight.  If the dykes go like they did in '72, it'll be Agnes all over
again.  Wish we could siphon it off to Kemp.  I've got stuff wilting
everywhere.
Drat.
