Infamous Darby Creek Floods Darby Township Again
Dramatic Rescues Flashed Across Our TVs
I took some pictures and will follow with a slideshow, but I wanted to update on Darby Township first. I spoke to a friend who lives on the further end of Darby Township and they are fine. Not so for the middle of town though. Darby is shaped kind of like a basin. Where the large bridge is, which is now completely under water almost seems like it will never fully recover from flooding. Everytime they get it finished, another flood hits. When Hurricane Floyed hit years ago, my ex-husbands body shop located then in Darby Township, two stories high, was completely covered by water.
Unfortunately could not embed video. Click the link below to see amazing rescue by firemen using their ladder as a bridge:

Post a CommentGreat reporting on this awful experience.
Glad everybody's okay but it is scary.
My basement got drenched by this storm and still smells of mildew. But at least I wasn't in Darby. Yowza!

So sad.
Scary, and sad about the bridge. I'm in Ohio, and was really worried about flooding last night!
Oh - I should have read this one first, I see. Thankful you and your little family are safe from storm.
Whoa..

Water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink.
