I was on the levee around the Rt 22 Plaza earlier this afternoon getting
some video of the PSP helicopter evacing people from the Comfort Inn on
4th St in Huntingdon... at least until the nice policeman told me if he
saw me on the levee again he'd arrest me LOL... We were also at out camp
site on the Juniata near McVeytown, Mifflin County PA. Currently our
trailer is in the neighbors front yard hung up on a couple of trees,
hopefully it stays there :) Talking to the owner of the campground and
some of the locals, they haven't seen this much water in the river since
Agnes in '72.
