Susquehanna River, Harrisburg, 6:45 a.m., June 29
Today is the critical day for Shipoke residents. MARFC says the river will crest this afternoon at Harrisburg at 20-21 feet. Right now it looks to be at about 20 feet, judging by the "watch us flood" paint marks on the railroad bridge at the north end of Shipoke, seen in the photo above. Here is the current NOAA flood chart, showing a projected crest of 20.5 feet. If everything turns out the way MARFC says, we should be okay. But the projected crest is just below where the water starts spilling over into the street. Our basement is still bone dry this morning.
