flooded out.

i am home from work today because the east branch of the perkiomen creek has flooded out most of perkasie, and they have blocked the bridges i need to get over to get to the office. i've been hearing sirens and helicopters all morning. there's another one overhead right now. according to my office when i called, they're effecting an evacuation of the apartment complex across the street, which backs right up against the creek.

the sun has finally come out however, and i think i'll to try to walk down that way in a few hours and hopefully get some pictures of the destruction *grin* unfortunately by that time the water will have gone down probably (ooo...future perfect!), but i'm not a good enough photographer to snap pictures while firemen are waving at me to go away.
