Flood Damage

The water level of Wysox Creek was down enough that we were able to travel to Wysox for supplies this morning. Some of the clean-up along Route 187 had started but here are a few photos of what we saw.

Some of the flooded cars along Route 187 had been removed but this truck was located in a field just north of Myresburg.



This car was being removed from the flood water next to the Wysox Township Building along Route 187.



Shortly after the car was removed from the water these two people paddled by in a boat.



A boat paddles by the house near the Wysox Township building.




A little creek near Weaver's house, south of Gillette's Bridge, dumped rocks onto Route 187.



A view of Wysox Creek behind Weaver's Barn. Notice the stream bank which was washed out by the flooding. There used to be a road to the creek but now there is a 20 foot drop off.



Flood damage at the trailer court next to Route 187 south of Rome.



The small bridge at Elliott Road and North Rome Road is plugged full.







Flood trash at a bridge on North Rome Road.



Bridge damage on Battle Creek Road between Route 187 and Robinson Road.





Flood trash under the Route 187 bridge near Bob Wilmot's.




Damage at the old "sawmill" building along Route 187 north of Rome. Flooding from Wysox Creek pushed in the side of the building.

The bridge on Route 187 just north of Orwell Hill Road was washed out.



Washout at the north end of the bridge.

View of damage on the underside of the bridge. The north bridge abutment is broken in several places and the bridge deck is resting on a tree.

Tsk, tsk. Truly, there is no way of finding out how harsh nature's wrath can become. This is, indeed, a tough time for the residents. But with determination and support from everyone, they can certainly recover and eventually start anew.
