I just watched the 11 p.m. news. They said the water at
Pax was at 7 feet today. They showed pictures from where you
get off the interstate and could get no further. I heard today
that the water was at the landing going in the door at Kelly's
Korner. There were four trailers up the road from Kelly's
scrambled and one wrapped around a telephone and was cut in half.
Kilsyth was flooded really bad. Janet Hager said the Moss house
(the one right off the bypass) had water up to the windows. Also,
water was up so high at the company store, that you couldn't get
through and water was over the bridge near the road that leads to
the High School. A Church at the north end of Mount Hope was flooded.
On the news they said 7 or 9 (I forgot) counties were declared
disaster areas. If there are pictures in the paper tomorrow, I will
scan and send them to you all.
