Some seriously high water here in philly in the wake of the storm, with the rivers cresting at their highest level in a long long time.

Here is a shot of boathouse row about 6 hours after the rain stopped, the docks out along the water are normally about 10 feet BELOW the boatbay doors:

Is that along the Schuylkill upriver from the art museum? I've not been back in well over 10 years. Thank you for the picture, I'd forgotten how much I like the area.

Are there any problems with flooding in the low-lying areas?

Thanks guys.

Yes this is just up from the boathouse.


A lot of lower/riverside areas got some serious water. those that are familiar with the area, a large chunk of main st in manayunk was under water for a while (should be down today), and lots of others as well.

To be honest, it doesn't take a whole lot for parts of Manayunk to flood anyway.

Nice photos, Dave.

I got the same shot: boathouse row

and one of a flooded boathouse, I heard on NPR that the boats were floating around on the first floor.

I ran the Loop today. The city has done a great job of clearing debris though, and the path was not too bad, just lots of drying mud everywhere. I kind of liked the fact that the distance markers every quarter mile were covered.
