The Skippack creek near me flooded badly yesterday afternoon. Much of the Mainland Golf Course was under water, and almost every road near the creek and golf course was closed or impassible! :o I think parts of Lower Salford Township in Montgomery County, PA reported over 4 inches of rain in less than 4 hours. My 25 minutes drive home from work yesterday turned into an 80 minute drive because of the detours and ensuing traffic jams caused by the flooding.
