Western PA is getting hit pretty hard by Ivan. We/They got a ton of rain after Charley and Frances and now Ivan pushed it all over the edge. A couple counties have been declared disaster areas and at least one town is under a mandatory evacuation. Apparently more rain fell on Pittsburgh today than any other day in recorded history. There's a lot of really, really bad flooding almost everywhere. One of the pictures I saw of Oakdale, PA was deep enough to completely submerge gas pumps, so the waters there were pushing six feet deep. The rivers are supposed to peak at four feet above flood stage, which is a lot for <i>one day</i> of rain. Even out here in central PA its starting to get nasty. There's about seven inches of water in my apartment building's parking lot.
