Andy's Angles: Lee Weekend


Today's it's another photo from September 2011, noting the approaching 10th anniversary of the Tropical Storm Lee flooding.

As I noted yesterday, I was on vacation when the flood hit, and while I was curious about what was going on, the Wyoming Valley didn't need another sightseer.  I waited until the water went down and the immediate emergency passed before venturing out with my camera.

Born and raised here, and I will forever be in awe of the Susquehanna River-- its power and how quickly it can rise to dangerous levels.

The view above is from the area near the Water Street Bridge, on the Pittston side, looking downstream.
