    I need a boat to go to the scrap yard!!

    I am in Binghamton NY. I have never in my life seen flooding in this area like we had the last couple of days. I was fortunate that I had no loss, but I had to have 3 sump pumps running in my basement to keep it at bay.

    Right now, there is only one bridge open going over the Susquehanna river all the others are closed. ( Can't even get to the scrap yards if I wanted too).

    These poor people in this area are in for some rough going. We recovered from a flood in 2006 but this one is much worse. The whole city was practically underwater.

    I am retired contractor that has been having fun scrapping and have really enjoyed the simplicity of it. But it looks like I may have to put my tool belt back on to help these people out and put this city back together. I won't be able to concentrate on scrapping as much but maybe some scrapping will come my way in the process who knows!!
