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!!
We are in the same neck of the woods........I'm about 60 minutes from you, and thankfully didn't have any flooding issues, but I go to Binghamton often and have many friends there. My heart goes out to you guys, and I plan on doing anything I can to help too! I've never seen anything like this flooding in my life!
