Well I was going to wait till I loaded the pictures I took.. but I found this (http://www.nytbcast.com/php/photos/slideshows/images/22725.jpg) and it has a lot more pictures, and gives me a reason to be lazy and not load my pictures..

This is a picture of the road I take to get to Blockbuster:

Wow, that sucks...I hope you didn't have any sinkholes on your property or aflooded basement. I think it's time for Pennsylvania to turn its old mine tunnels in to drainage sewers; it might prevent a few of those sinkholes, too. I don't know if that one was from a mine tunnel but I remember when Hurricane Agnes hit in '72 they had problems with sinkholes from flooding.

Not much dammage on my property other than the carpets getting wet. No basement, thank god!

That's a good idea, most of them are just sitting there.

I'm not sure, I was wondering how it could be so big..

Around here we'd call that a "small pothole" :D

Really, that's incredible. Hope your car isn't down there.

Had to google that..

Dozens of homes were wrecked when floods swept down a steep valley sending 90 million tonnes of water through the village in one of the UK's worst disasters.
Oh snap!
