Coaltown

Coaltown
Tom and G will recognize this shot as a rerun from the IIRTZ blog. It features the Susquehanna River, located about 20 miles from my home, which very nearly flooded its banks last week in a repeat of the devastating Hurricane Agnes flood of June 1972. The river's crest last week was nearly two feet higher than in 1972 but the raised dikes held. Utter regional devastation narrowly averted.
