Don't always raise all boats... Especially if your caught without one, in northwestern Pennsylvania.
Today marked the 30th anniversary of the Johnstown floods in July of '77.
July 19-20, 1977, eighty-five people were killed in and around Johnstown, Pennsylvania, from a massive flash flood. No flash flood in the United States since then has killed more people. Found out how it happened here:

Randomly came across this today while trying find some weather info for work. Thought it woud be worth sharing had no one realized themselves.
A lot has happened since then... yet, we still seem as hopelessly at the mercy of things well beyond control. Or at least that is what some people would like you to believe. When will we start to learn to take action before it's too late? In this case, the storms that caused the flooding came on a lot faster than the more recent gaff that cost a lot of people their lives.
Thoughts anyone?
