Flood in Manayunk

Our area of Philadelphia was partially flooded yesterday due to a deluge of rain over the past few days. Mr. Doodlebug, baby Doodle and I went down to check things out after dinner last night. We were disappointed not to see more destruction and higher waters, but I guess that's a good thing. The Schuylkill River was brown, very high, and moving rapidly. It only ran over its banks on the lower part of Main Street where the Manayunk Brewery is and onto Kelly Drive. Part of Main Street and Kelly Drive are still closed today while officials pump the water out. To where do they pump the water? Back into the Schuylkill? It seems that the Schuylkill can't take any more water. hmmm


















































The police wouldn't let us get any closer than this to the flooded part of Main Street. You can see the water on the street beyond the news vans.
