Much of our area is feeling water-logged tonight, after one of the heaviest rainstorms so far this year.
Some places saw close to three inches of rain already this week.
Jeff Banks of Scranton said when he woke up Tuesday to raindrops on his windowsill, he got ready, preparing to keep Leggett’s Creek, which runs behind his backyard, at bay.
“It’s risen probably twice as much in the last hour since I’ve been out here, digging trenches,” said Banks.
Parts of Lackawanna County saw over two inches of rain over the last two days, leading to some small floods in Scranton, like in Banks’ backyard.
“All the water’s pooling in the center of the yard so I have to dig trenches to try to drain it right now,” added Banks.
