them of the Agnes Floods of 1972.
The flash flooding lasted until
Wednesday and affected over 1000
homes of which 33 had major damage.
Two businesses were destroyed with
over 150 roads damaged by flood
waters. Over 100 people had to be
rescued. Twenty five bridges were
destroyed with over 50 damaged. At
least 26 million dollars worth of
damage was done to roadways with
up to 100 million dollars of damage
reported from flooding in the
county. Hardest hit areas were
Plains, Plymouth, Schickshinny,
Dallas, Jackson township, West
Wyoming, and Luzerne townships.
Toby's Creek was among one of the
creeks that experienced the most
significant flooding. During the
day Wednesday, concerns shifted
from the flash flooding on the
small streams to the Susquehanna
River which was projected to rise
close to the top of the levee in
the city of Wilkes Barre. This
prompted city and county officials
to order 200,000 people to evacuate
Wilkes Barre. Fortunately the levee
held and there were no significant
problems in the City Proper.
Tragically, three people died from
the floods in Luzerne county.

Lackawanna County
Countywide 27 0900EST
28 1400EST
Tropical moisture streamed northward
into northeast Pennsylvania ahead of
a frontal system which slowly moved
westward into the eastern Great Lakes
by Tuesday morning the 27th. This
brought 2 to 5 inches of rain to
Lackawanna County and began
significant flash flooding by Tuesday
morning. Later on Tuesday another
more substantial area of heavy rain
moved into Lackawanna County as the
front moved back east and combined
with a low pressure system moving up
the eastern seaboard. This additional
rainfall caused massive flash
flooding from Tuesday afternoon
through Wednesday. Total rainfall in
Lackawanna County ranged from 7 to
15 inches. This extreme rainfall
sent streams and creeks overflowing
their banks in Moscow and Goldboro
by mid-morning Tuesday. By late
morning, widespread flash flooding
was occurring across many parts of
the county. The flooding damaged 200
homes, destroying 2. There were at
least 18 businesses damaged. Over
500 were evacuated with 20 people
being rescued from the raging flood
waters. There were 22 roads damaged
with 2 roads destroyed. During the
height of the flash flood, there
were 30 roads closed, including
Interstate 81 from exit 199 in
northern Lackawanna County north to
the New York border. There were no
deaths, but damages are estimated
to be at least 50 million dollars.

Sayre 27 1500EST
30 2359EST
The Waverly/Sayre gage is located
at the point where the Susquehanna
River makes its final turn out of
New York State into Pennsylvania.
It is also 5 miles north of the
confluence of the Susquehanna and
Chemung Rivers at Tioga Point. The
gage serves the communities of
Waverly in New York and the Athens/
Sayre region in Pennsylvania. The
Cannon Hole neighborhood and the
Village of Barton were severely
flooded. To quote the Star-Gazette
of Elmira, New York, Thursday July
3rd, 2006 "Cannon Hole residents,
living unprotected and sometimes
only yards from the Susquehanna
River, are used to dealing with
floods every so often. They mop
up, wring things out, wash things
off and move on with their lives."
The article goes on to say that
this June flooding brought far
more devastation to the area then
anyone had experienced. Several
residents will not return due to
homes being unfit or not repairable.
Some are saying that they are tired
of dealing with flooding and will
move now. The river rose to the
flood stage (11 feet) June 27th,
at 4:00 PM EDT. It reached moderate
flooding (16 feet) June 28th, at
3:30 AM EDT. It rose to major
flooding (21.4 feet) June 28th,
at 6:45 PM EDT. The river crested
at 22.52 feet June 29, at 5:00 AM
EDT. This broke the old record of
21.4 feet set in March of 1936. The
local basin average rainfall for
June 26 to 29 was 5.26 inches. The
river remained above flood stage
through the end of June in the
Waverly/Sayre area.
Susquehanna County
Countywide 27 1630EST
28 1400EST
Tropical moisture continued to stream
northward into northeast Pennsylvania
ahead of a frontal system which
slowly moved westward into the
eastern Great Lakes by Tuesday
morning the 27th. Additional heavy
rain fell Tuesday afternoon into
Wednesday morning across Susquehanna
County as the front moved back east
and combined with a low pressure
system moving up the eastern seaboard.
Total rainfall for the three day
period ending Wednesday was over 10
inches in many areas with 14.74 inches
reported in Clinton Township. This
batch of heavy rain sent most streams
and creeks over their banks in what
was the worst flash flooding this
county has ever seen. The flash
flooding lasted until Wednesday
afternoon. Hardest hit areas were
New Milford, Great Bend, Hallstead,
Susquehanna, Lanesboro, Oakland and
Little Meadows. One person was killed
when he drove his car into a flooded
roadway in Springville Township.
Total damages to the county were at
least 100 million dollars. 183 homes
were damaged, 76 destroyed. There were
110 businesses damaged by the flood
waters. 400 people were evacuated,
with 100 people rescued. At least

28 1400EST
Tropical moisture continued to stream
northward into northeast Pennsylvania
ahead of a frontal system which
slowly moved westward into the eastern
Great Lakes by Tuesday morning the
27th. By Tuesday evening another more
substantial area of heavy rain moved
into the eastern half of Bradford
County as the front moved back east
and combined with a low pressure
system moving up the eastern seaboard.
This additional rainfall caused
massive flash flooding by 5:50 pm EDT
Tuesday through Wednesday at 3 pm EDT.
Hardest hit areas were mainly in the
eastern half of the county, including
Sayre, Athens, Ulster, Sheshequin,
Windham, LeRaysville, Herrick, and
Stevens. Total damage was estimated
around 25 million dollars. The flash
floods caused 99 homes to be damaged,
1 destroyed. 12 businesses were
flooded. There were at least 100
people evacuated from the flood
waters. More than 50 roads were
damaged and 2 bridges flooded. All
the flash flooding in Bradford County
combined with the heavy rainfall in
upstate New York to send the
Susquehanna River in Sayre and Athens
to its highest level in history. At
the Sayre/Waverly Gauge, the
Susquehanna River crested at 22.52
feet Wednesday night which was 1.1
feet higher than the previous record
set in March 1936. The levee system
that protects Sayre and Athens held
but 300 people were ordered to
evacuate as a precaution. The river
did flood the Athens sewage plant
causing major water problems for
Athens. Fortunately there were no
deaths from this flood in Bradford
County.

morning the 25th moved slowly west
to a position from just north of
New England south-southwest across
the Adirondacks through central
New York and then down the spine
of the Appalachians by Monday
morning the 26th. Tropical moisture
moved westward and engulfed nearly
all of New York State and most of
northern and eastern Pennsylvania
by Monday morning. This resulted in
a widespread area of moderate to
heavy rain across all of central
New York and northeast Pennsylvania
including the Poconos and Catskills.
The heaviest rain occurred in the
Poconos and Catskills where rainfall
amounts totaled between 1.5 and 4
inches by 8 am EDT Monday. In Wayne
County, 1 to 3 inches of rain fell
across the county by Monday morning.
This rainfall saturated the soils
before another round of heavy
rainfall moved into Wayne County
during the day Monday. This next
batch of rainfall caused significant
flash flooding in the Honesdale
and Bethany areas. The flash flooding
began at 330 pm EDT and lasted into
the evening hours. Many roads were
washed out. The Lackawaxen River
spilled its bank and flooded a
parking lot. A nursing home in the

Toby's Creek was among one of the
creeks that experienced the most
significant flooding. During the
day Wednesday, concerns shifted
from the flash flooding on the
small streams to the Susquehanna
River which was projected to rise
close to the top of the levee in

gage serves the communities of
Waverly in New York and the Athens/
Sayre region in Pennsylvania. The
Cannon Hole neighborhood and the
Village of Barton were severely
flooded. To quote the Star-Gazette
of Elmira, New York, Thursday July

living unprotected and sometimes
only yards from the Susquehanna
River, are used to dealing with
floods every so often. They mop
up, wring things out, wash things
off and move on with their lives."
The article goes on to say that
this June flooding brought far
more devastation to the area then
anyone had experienced. Several
residents will not return due to
homes being unfit or not repairable.
Some are saying that they are tired
of dealing with flooding and will

Luzerne County
Countywide Flash Flood
Additional heavy rain fell Tuesday
the 27th through early Wednesday
morning the 28th across Luzerne
County and the Poconos on top of
what fell on Monday as a front
moved east across Pennsylvania
and combined with low pressure
and tropical moisture. This
additional rainfall brought three
day rainfall totals between 6 and
10 inches in Luzerne County,
sending most streams and creeks
over their banks in what would be
deemed the worst flash flooding
this county has experienced since
Hurricane Agnes in 1972. Many people
remarked that this storm reminded
them of the Agnes Floods of 1972.
The flash flooding lasted until
Wednesday and affected over 1000
homes of which 33 had major damage.
Two businesses were destroyed with
over 150 roads damaged by flood
waters. Over 100 people had to be
rescued. Twenty five bridges were
destroyed with over 50 damaged. At
least 26 million dollars worth of
damage was done to roadways with
up to 100 million dollars of damage
reported from flooding in the
county. Hardest hit areas were
Plains, Plymouth, Schickshinny,
Dallas, Jackson township, West
Wyoming, and Luzerne townships.
Toby's Creek was among one of the
creeks that experienced the most
significant flooding. During the
day Wednesday, concerns shifted
from the flash flooding on the
small streams to the Susquehanna
River which was projected to rise
close to the top of the levee in
the city of Wilkes Barre. This
prompted city and county officials
to order 200,000 people to evacuate
Wilkes Barre. Fortunately the levee
held and there were no significant
problems in the City Proper.
Tragically, three people died from
the floods in Luzerne county.

Lackawanna County
Countywide Flash Flood
Tropical moisture streamed northward
into northeast Pennsylvania ahead of
a frontal system which slowly moved
westward into the eastern Great Lakes
by Tuesday morning the 27th. This
brought 2 to 5 inches of rain to
Lackawanna County and began
significant flash flooding by Tuesday
morning. Later on Tuesday another
more substantial area of heavy rain
moved into Lackawanna County as the
front moved back east and combined
with a low pressure system moving up
the eastern seaboard. This additional
rainfall caused massive flash
flooding from Tuesday afternoon
through Wednesday. Total rainfall in
Lackawanna County ranged from 7 to
15 inches. This extreme rainfall
sent streams and creeks overflowing
their banks in Moscow and Goldboro
by mid-morning Tuesday. By late
morning, widespread flash flooding
was occurring across many parts of
the county. The flooding damaged 200
homes, destroying 2. There were at
least 18 businesses damaged. Over
500 were evacuated with 20 people
being rescued from the raging flood
waters. There were 22 roads damaged
with 2 roads destroyed. During the
height of the flash flood, there
were 30 roads closed, including
Interstate 81 from exit 199 in
northern Lackawanna County north to
the New York border. There were no
deaths, but damages are estimated
to be at least 50 million dollars.

Sayre Flood
The Waverly/Sayre gage is located
at the point where the Susquehanna
River makes its final turn out of
New York State into Pennsylvania.
It is also 5 miles north of the
confluence of the Susquehanna and
Chemung Rivers at Tioga Point. The
gage serves the communities of
Waverly in New York and the Athens/
Sayre region in Pennsylvania. The
Cannon Hole neighborhood and the
Village of Barton were severely
flooded. To quote the Star-Gazette
of Elmira, New York, Thursday July
3rd, 2006 "Cannon Hole residents,
living unprotected and sometimes
only yards from the Susquehanna
River, are used to dealing with
floods every so often. They mop
up, wring things out, wash things
off and move on with their lives."
The article goes on to say that
this June flooding brought far
more devastation to the area then
anyone had experienced. Several
residents will not return due to
homes being unfit or not repairable.
Some are saying that they are tired
of dealing with flooding and will
move now. The river rose to the
flood stage (11 feet) June 27th,
at 4:00 PM EDT. It reached moderate
flooding (16 feet) June 28th, at
3:30 AM EDT. It rose to major
flooding (21.4 feet) June 28th,
at 6:45 PM EDT. The river crested
at 22.52 feet June 29, at 5:00 AM
EDT. This broke the old record of
21.4 feet set in March of 1936. The
local basin average rainfall for
June 26 to 29 was 5.26 inches. The
river remained above flood stage
through the end of June in the
Waverly/Sayre area.
Susquehanna County
Countywide Flash Flood
Tropical moisture continued to stream
northward into northeast Pennsylvania
ahead of a frontal system which
slowly moved westward into the
eastern Great Lakes by Tuesday
morning the 27th. Additional heavy
rain fell Tuesday afternoon into
Wednesday morning across Susquehanna
County as the front moved back east
and combined with a low pressure
system moving up the eastern seaboard.
Total rainfall for the three day
period ending Wednesday was over 10
inches in many areas with 14.74 inches
reported in Clinton Township. This
batch of heavy rain sent most streams
and creeks over their banks in what
was the worst flash flooding this
county has ever seen. The flash
flooding lasted until Wednesday
afternoon. Hardest hit areas were
New Milford, Great Bend, Hallstead,
Susquehanna, Lanesboro, Oakland and
Little Meadows. One person was killed
when he drove his car into a flooded
roadway in Springville Township.
Total damages to the county were at
least 100 million dollars. 183 homes
were damaged, 76 destroyed. There were
110 businesses damaged by the flood
waters. 400 people were evacuated,

countywide. M43VE
Bradford County
East Portion Flash Flood
Tropical moisture continued to stream
northward into northeast Pennsylvania
ahead of a frontal system which
slowly moved westward into the eastern
Great Lakes by Tuesday morning the
27th. By Tuesday evening another more
substantial area of heavy rain moved
into the eastern half of Bradford
County as the front moved back east
and combined with a low pressure
system moving up the eastern seaboard.
This additional rainfall caused
massive flash flooding by 5:50 pm EDT
Tuesday through Wednesday at 3 pm EDT.
Hardest hit areas were mainly in the
eastern half of the county, including
Sayre, Athens, Ulster, Sheshequin,
Windham, LeRaysville, Herrick, and
Stevens. Total damage was estimated
around 25 million dollars. The flash
floods caused 99 homes to be damaged,
1 destroyed. 12 businesses were
flooded. There were at least 100
people evacuated from the flood
waters. More than 50 roads were
damaged and 2 bridges flooded. All
the flash flooding in Bradford County
combined with the heavy rainfall in
upstate New York to send the
Susquehanna River in Sayre and Athens
to its highest level in history. At
the Sayre/Waverly Gauge, the
Susquehanna River crested at 22.52
feet Wednesday night which was 1.1
feet higher than the previous record
set in March 1936. The levee system
that protects Sayre and Athens held
but 300 people were ordered to
evacuate as a precaution. The river
did flood the Athens sewage plant
causing major water problems for
Athens. Fortunately there were no
deaths from this flood in Bradford
County.
