[STORMREPORTS] Central PA Flooding Photos

Flooding at Spring Creek, State College PA, November 19, 2003

The NWS in State College, PA, home of WeatherMatrix HQ, issued a Flood
Warning For Centre County at 1237 PM EST WED NOV 19 2003 due to excessively
heavy rain (24-hour total measured by WeatherMatrix was over 2.3 inches).

I took these photos at 5pm at the Houserville Spring Creek USGS Gauge in
State College (a couple miles from HQ). Due to the early darkness of Fall,
the pictures did not turn out as well as they should have.

The gauge's reports of streamflow and stream height at the time of the
photos have been permanently archived and are displayed below. This flood
exceeded the one on March 20, 2003, which was also documented.

For those of you who don't know the area... pretty much all the water you
see in the pictures is not supposed to be there. I have outlined normal
creek areas in red at the bottom of the details page if you're interested.
