the flood

<p>Justin:</p>

<p>I hope you aren't on campus stuck up on the hill avoiding the rising flood waters. Have you spoken to any of your friends on campus ? I am here in Philly watching the news of the amazing film of the river rising up to the level of the bridge next to the McDonalds and the Exxon station. I hope no locals were hurt. Luckily the campus is on a high part of town. It will be a real clean up mess. Poor Easton!</p>

<p>We got it fairly bad here in Philly area and suburbs with major flooding.</p>

<p>Dana,</p>

<p>Thankfully, I am home in Bergen County, NJ. I have spoken to a classmate who is taking summer courses at Lafayette, and she has described the flood to me in great detail.</p>

<p>Feel free to check out these pictures of the flooding just down college hill taken by a Lafayette student a day or two ago at: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/metabrilliant/sets/72157594180561721/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.flickr.com/photos/metabrilliant/sets/72157594180561721/&lt;/a>. The easiest way to view the photos is as a slideshow. Keep in mind that the building you see in the first picture is the Williams Visual Arts Building. I heard the first floor has flooded, but the college was wise enough to move the artwork to the second floor before the water hit!</p>

<p>nymets,</p>

<p>I know! I was watching the news all day as the Delaware continued to overflow its banks. Thankfully, it seems that no one in the Easton/P'Burg area was injured...everyone got out in time.</p>

<p>BTW, I like the sn. GO METS!</p>
