Jamie said power just came back on.
She also said flooding of the Swatara Creek reached the train tracks. The power substation on the very left (corner of Race and Mill) is what caused power to go out.
Hoffer Park is flooded. Too bad. There is a very nice playground built by volunteers that probably got damaged :(
Here is the general area. The “A” denotes where Jamie lives, and just about under the label “Jednota” is where Penn State Harrisburg is located.
The Susquehanna River is higher than normal in this area but is not a flood concern since the river is so wide. Harrisburg and the Airport are currently unconcerned about the state of the river.
The smaller creeks and rivers are overflowing their banks, however. The river just under “Royalton” is the one that flooded the electric substation I mentioned earlier. In fact, if you follow that river up to the very northeast corner of the map you will find Hershey, PA (home of Hershey Chocolates). This is the very river that flooded Hershey Park during Hurricane Agnes in 1972.
If you follow the Susquehanna River to the very bottom of the map, you find Three Mile Island of the 1979 nuclear meltdown fame. Several press releases from Excelon Nuclear have stated Three Mile Island Nuclear Generating Station will continue operating and is presently does not anticipate any disruption from due to Tropical Storm Lee.
