NOAA Joins The ARMY (Corps) - A Forum Announcement

Yes, the photo on the left is Route 611 in Forks on April 4, 2005 at 6:14 AM. We learned today from an announcement in the Morning Call that US Representative Charles Dent is sponsoring a flood solutions forum at Lafayette College on Tuesday, August 2nd at 7:00 PM in Oechsle Hall. The presenters will include the Army Corps of Engineers, the National Weather Service, the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the state Department of Environmental Protection. Call Dent's office if you need more information (610-861-9734).

The photo in the upper right is what Frost Hollow looked like on April 9th after the flood waters receded. At the BoS Meeting on 7/21/05 we were told that Frost Hollow Road might reopen in a few weeks. Today's Express Times (Sarah Mausolf) confirms this! YES!

NOAA's FLOOD - Mtg 6/30/05 - Martins Creek

Tonight at 7:00 PM in the former Centerfield School in Martins Creek, the Northampton County Long-Term Recovery Committee is hosting a presentation by the National Weather Service on the cause(s) of the April 2005 Delaware River flooding. The National Weather Service did a similar presentation last night in Portland, PA. This meeting is open to the public and all who want to know more about this flooding "perfect storm" should make every effort to attend. Although many of you heard the talk that Lafayette's Prof. Roger Ruggles gave at our May 2005 F.A.C. meeting about the flooding (and will be very familiar with much of what will be presented tonight), you may want to hear the "official" word(s).
