2011:
The remnants of Tropical Storm Lee brought copious amounts of rainfall to the eastern United States. Eastern Pennsylvania was especially hard hit, where several locations received over a foot of rain (15.20" at Elizabethtown over a span of five days) and the Susquehanna River set a record stage of 32.8 feet at Bloomsburg (nearly 14 feet over flood stage).

Several people showed up for the Bike/Walk/Run for Faith event this morning at Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Groton. Those on bicycle had already taken off when the photo was taken.
