Philly Area, South Jersey, Northern DE folks check in - hope you're all ok

[LynneSin]

Watching the news and there is some major flooding in the area. The road I take to visit my best friend (Marshellton DE) is absolutely destroyed by flood waters.

Bush is in Delaware County (suburb of Philly), maybe the flood waters will drag him away <sigh>, we can only hope!

1. ....

So far so good in Bucks County, PA. We're preparing...

2. I've Got Family in New Jersey

Some cousins near Vineland, others in Red Bank, a sister in Morristown, my son in Wharton, and my daughter in Parsippany. I'm worried about all of them......

It's not bad here yet. It "hits" Thursday.

4. I Remember a Lot of Hurricanes in Jersey

Especially Donna in 1960 and Camille in 1971. Fortunately, I grew up outside Morristown, which was about 300 feet above sea level. We had street flooding and downed trees - lower-lying areas got hit much harder.

5. My back yard is like a sponge

It goes squidge-squidge when I try to walk on it.

My driveway is like a river.

There's water running across my basement floor.

But all of that is pretty normal -- they don't call this area the Great Swamp for nothing.

I'm just keeping my fingers cross for two-three days from now.

6. I'm ok for now, but..

Actually, no flooding here, yet.

9. Milk & Bread shelfs cleared at Acme - must be a storm coming

I usually pick up groceries on Monday since that's my day off and boy was the grocery store PACKED. The bread shelf was half bare, you couldn't find a loaf of white bread anywhere (I don't each much bread but when I buy a loaf it's Oat Nut). The Water shelf was bare and there wasn't much of a milk choice left.

The storm is a-coming!

10. O.K. so far

Although chemical plants, rising waters, and a giant tree standing next to my house have me somewhat concerned.

I'm convinced that the Armageddon-like feeling in Delaware today (particularly near Marshalton) were due to Bush's evil presence in the region.

11. Supposed to be leaving on a cruise from NYC on Thursday...

Think we will make it out of port?
