'The water just kept coming'

According to Jullee Chamberlain,For the last five years porcelain tiles , spokesman for Wyoming County EMA, Forkston and Noxen were especially hard hit by flooding caused by the remnants of Tropical Storm Irene.

Mehoopany Creek swelled its banks off Windy Valley Road around 7 a.m. just below Forkston and within an hour homes in the village were being inundated.the Hemroids by special invited artist for 2011,

"This was quick,These girls have never had a cube puzzle in their lives!" Ed Barry, a 51-year-old insulator who bought property in Forkston in 2006 said. "The water just kept coming and there was nothing we could do about it."

So, he and his wife sought higher ground and eventually ended up at an American Red Cross shelter set up at Tunkhannock Area High School.

Richie Kuder, 31,who was responsible for tracking down Charles RUBBER MATS . a lifelong resident of the area who now works for Infinity Oil Field out of Williamsport, said that he had never experienced anything like the flooding before.

In January 2010, flooding also inundated parts of Forkston but mostly its Creek Junction Park bore the brunt of the damage.

"This was so much worse." Kuder said, noting that the water actually got up to his waist Sunday morning. "The water was raging before we realized we just didn't have a chance to last it out."

He believed that three-fourths of the town was under water at one time and he felt the safest thing to do was to get his wife and three kids to the shelter.

Stephen McHenry, executive director of the Susquehanna and Wyoming County Red Cross said the high school shelter housed about 20 persons Sunday night, and another shelter was opened at the Northmoreland Township Fire Hall in Center Moreland.

It was set up for residents of Noxen where the National Guard was available to help people evacuate because of flooding issues with Bowman's Creek, mostly with their basements.

No one, however, took advantage of the shelter, McHenry said.

He noted that in Susquehanna County a shelter was also set up at Great Bend Fire Hall to take in about 20 persons flooded out in a trailer park along Mountain Valley Road.

Back in Wyoming County, Chamberlain said that Routes 29, 87, Sugar Hollow Road, Keelersburg Road, Windy Valley Road and Stull Road were all closed Sunday and would be evaluated by road and bridge crews Monday.

A number of other roads were temporarily closed while utility crews addressed fallen trees or limbs.

Chamberlain said that at the roadside rest off Route 29 four people had to be rescued by water.If so, you may have a zentai .

Around 11:30 a.m. Wyoming County declared a state of emergency on its roads after a couple of vehicles stalled out in water sitting on a couple of roadbeds.
