Rain rain go away - LKTraz - 09-07-2011
Good old Pennsyltucky got soaked from hurricane Irene and hadn't dried out before this latest bout of precipitation started on Sunday. The predictions have it raining here until next Sunday morning!
Some communities in the central part of the state have already registered just short of 10" of rain!!!!!!!!
I had no work today because the creek flooded the road to our plant and there was no way to get in to get my trailer.
Tomorrow will be a crap shoot as well because I tried going in at 4 this morning and as of now (5 PM) the water was still rising with more rain on the way!
It was mentioned on the news that the predicted crests for many places along the Susquehanna river are going to be the highest since hurricane Agnes in 1972!
Knoebel's Grove amusement park which is just 30 miles from here posted these pics today. The green board to the left of the building in the first picture is the flood level marker. They documented high water marks from various floods over the years at the park. The top line was hurricane Agnes.

Yep, still got high water here and the basement barely dried out and we're leaking again.

I'm damned sick of all this water!

Same here LK. I ache from my implants in my neck, back and have had a headache for well over a week now.

Is it still raining?
RE: Rain rain go away - LKTraz - 09-08-2011
Here we are, 16 hours since the initial post and STILL raining.
I just tried calling in to work to see what's up and the plant was still on the automatic message so that generally means that nobody is there. My dispatcher's cell went right to voice mail. I called his pager and have to wait to hear back from him.
It ain't looking too good for having any work today!
Not that I mind the extra days off but it's gonna hurt the wallet!

Send the bill for lost days to God. It's all his fault
RE: Rain rain go away - LKTraz - 09-08-2011
Dispatch told me (for the most part) "Don't call us, we'll call you."
Nothing is going anywhere for the time being. Parts of I 80, I 81 and I 83 are closed as well as the Pa Turnpike. There's also closures on many major routes like US 11, US 209, US 30, US 202......State Rts 61, 54, 901. These are all routes that our company travels.
There are more but just these alone pretty much nix our operation.

Now if they really needed those eggs, you can always airlift them to and fro via helicopter. The big trick would be not breaking the eggs!

Still to get a dozen home on my bike!
