How badly did the Schuylkill River flood?!?! Were homes flooded? Isn't Manayunk near East Falls? Like five minutes away? I was born and lived on Henry Avenue the first years of my life (Feltonville, the family pride and joy, is much further east down Roosevelt where my forefathers once thought they were a big deal. LOL). @Louis, aren't you from Manayunk? Or am I misremembering.
) and I'm a Southwest Philly gal, but the view from 70 miles north....
8th St. ramp which I drove every day to work. Underwater.
That’s what I saw/heard. Stepsister in Roxborough described downhill as impassable. I am pretty sure Louis is from South Philly. I’m a Mt Airy girl myself.I no longer live or work in the land of my ancestors (always thought it was a shame I never lived on Henry avenue
1) Biggest surprise: Vine Street Expressway flooded. Completely. Underwater.
2) Main St. completely underwater. No real surprise it flooded, but completely underwater. Looked bad.
3) Green St. bridge off the Schuylkill. Water pretty much lapping the underside.
The photos were impressive.
My daughter lives a few blocks up the hill in Manayunk. She walked down to Main St after work that first day and said there were places/bars in the middle section that were open, but not at the ends. She works in Mt Airy so had no problem commuting.
Holy cow, I really didn't know...I grew up in Delco (BrookhavenI no longer live or work in the land of my ancestors (always thought it was a shame I never lived on Henry avenue

. I grew up in Roxborough, which didn't seem to get hit very hard according to my dad (who had no flooding at all, despite often getting flooded). Parts of Manayunk look terrible, though.

Hahaha I lived in Ridley 2006-2007 actuallyWell, I started in SW Philly but graduated from Ridley HS. Ridley girl, SW Philly girl, same difference
Obviously not at all comparable with our friends in the Gulf, but for Philadelphia? My brother in Bucks County told me he turned off his phone because of all the tornado warnings. Hey, some things about Ridley people don't change
Sounds about right....went to Sun Valley myself
