Flood!

The Lehigh River and Delaware River are flooding today. At some point I want to make a table of the past recent flood levels (and some of those of legend), but for now here are a few links to data and news websites to keep track of things.

• pa.water.usgs.gov - Real-time "streamflow" data, including current river levels (Lehigh River in Bethlehem), a table of levels from Hurricane Ivan (Sept 2004), and other historical river levels. Just not the Delaware River in Easton. If you get errors, try again in 5 min.
  
• Advanced Hydrogloic Prediction Service - From NWS, lists some historical river peaks.
  
• Bethlehem Weather - National Weather Service, flood warnings include some river data.
  
• Morning Call and WFMZ - local news including user-submitted pictures
  

As of 4am, the Lehigh River in Bethlehem is forecast to come to 23 feet, only 2 feet shy of the levee protecting south Bethlehem. "Flood stage" is defined as 16 feet. The Hurricane Ivan flood reached 19.7 feet here.
