Floodwatch 2014

Well, it's never a dull moment in our apartment. We're officially on alert for possible overnight evacuation...the Schuylkill River outside our window is flooding with the heavy rains we've had over the last 24 hours.
Taken a few hours ago when the sun was out. Yes, the tree is underwater. Also note how close the train is to the river at the top of the pic - that's not supposed to look like that...
Looks like the fire marshals have it under control outside right now, but we can't park in the basement garage (it's open to the elements for just this reason). What we're really hoping is that the river stops rising so we don't have to leave the building...vacation can't come soon enough!
