Very Serious Flooding Likely

[mike2010]

Major Flooding is forecast up and down the Delaware river the next several days. I've had 9.30 inches of rain up here in Tobyhanna, PA since saturday night. (eastern pennsylvania - pocono mountains)

The most rain I have EVER witnessed fall within 72 hours.

This is going to be one for the history books.

Some of the warnings recently issued -
