They should start moving stuff along the river In West Pittston about now. Glad I don't work on that side of the river any longer.

The National Weather Service is prediction the Susquehanna River will crest at Wilkes-Barre at 38 feet at 2 a.m. Friday.

If the prediction holds true, that would be the second highest crest ever reported.

The only higher crest would be the 41 foot crest at the peak of Hurricane Agnes in 1972.


The Luzerne County Emergency Management Agency is meeting with county officials at 5:30 p.m.

Newswatch 16 is monitoring the situation and will have updates as they become available.
