Hey WVGrandma, I'm here in PA, on the most part, I believe we are all ok!! We've had quite alot of rain: 6 days of rain with 11 1/2 inches in just 2 days

so there has been quite a bit of flooding, we live near the Conestoga river, we didn't get flooded (at our house) but, it was difficult to get around as alot of roads nearby were flooded. The Conestoga crested yesterday and has receced!! The really big one: the Susquehanna river is expected to crest today, and it's already 4 feet above flood stage in Marietta, it is spilling over it's it banks (they always get flooded). Harrisburg is under a state of emergency!! It has been a real big mess, parts of roads washed away, next big mess: the clean up!!!! Last time, we got this much of a storm was 1972, the year of Agnes, although it's not quite as bad as Agnes had been. Man, I really could never even imagine what it would be like to have to have gone through Katrina in New Orleans, now, that was a serious mess!!!!! Hopefully, it's heading out to sea, and not on it's way to LSC's!!!!
