Wow, so the fire department just stopped by to let us know that they have cots setup at a nearby location in the event that the water gets any higher around here. As it "stands" (unintended pun) we have about 4" of water outside on the lawn... but we still have another 2' before any water would be getting into the house. Despite the fact that we're supposed to get between 1" and 2"/hr... I think we'll be okay. But just for fun... here's what the weather service is warning about:
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN STATE COLLEGE PA HAS ISSUED A

* FLASH FLOOD WARNING FOR... CLEARFIELD COUNTY IN CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA

* UNTIL 1130 PM EDT.

* AT 836 PM... COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL REPORTED SEVERAL ROADS CLOSED IN THE CITY OF DUBOIS FROM PERSISTENT HEAVY RAIN.

SLOW MOVING... TRAINING THUNDERSTORMS ARE PRODUCING TORRENTIAL RAINFALL OF 1 TO 2 INCHES PER HOUR. RUNOFF FROM THIS EXCESSIVE RAINFALL WILL CAUSE FLASH FLOODING... ESPECIALLY ACROSS CENTRAL AND NORTHERN CLEARFIELD COUNTY THIS EVENING... INCLUDING THE CITIES OF CLEARFIELD AND DUBOIS.


Sounds pretty scary, eh? The firemen that were here about 45 minutes ago were saying that if the guy behind us gets much more water that they'll be evacuating him. But he's even lower on the drainage scale. Anyway... back to work.
