The Flood of 2011

On September 7th, my hometown along with many other areas from Maryland to New York were hit hard by Hurricane Lee. Below are videos from some of those places. My family was lucky and did not get hit by the flooding (although some, like my mom, came awfully close).





This video is just a slideshow of a bunch of different parts of PA that were flooded. It's pretty interesting if you don't mind the noise (aka the music...you might want to mute this one) or the length.



This video is about Hersheypark, ZooAmerica and the damages they had to deal with.

I don't know why, but it's always sort of...surreal? when I see events like this happening to my hometown. I guess it's a little weird to be viewing things on TV and online rather than actually being there. Especially when I know the locations pictured.

  1. Wow, that's crazy! I've never experienced any kind of flood or weather disaster, but I at least know what it's like now to experience something (London riots) that make international news.
