We Got Hit By Hurricane Irene

Well, Hurricane Irene hit us with a lot of rain.  Here we go again with the Delaware River! We didn't get hit as bad as they were saying tho-phew! The Delaware River was originally forecasted to crest at 31 feet which would have been a little crazy around here but fortunately it was cresting a little lower.  When these pictures were taken, the Delaware River was about 24 feet which is 2 feet above flood stage.
