We were living in South Pottstown when the flood hit in June of 2006. We were lucky enough to be able to move far from any river. We had two trees on our property come down during the storm last night, but compared to what we went through when the river went over, that is nothing. My thoughts and prayers are with all our former neighbors and whoever else has moved into that area since we left.
