If you are looking for photos of the 2005 flood, please read this entry -- The Editor

The Delaware River flooded its banks after the remnants of Ivan -- combined with another storm -- dumped a huge amount of rain on the Lehigh Valley. Sue, Jordan and I walked down town to snap a few pictures of the scene, and we were astounded by what we saw.

As of Sunday, 9/19/2004, Larry Holmes Drive, which runs along the eastern edge of the city and abuts the park, was underwater (sorry, no photos of that -- we were on the wrong side of Rte. 22, and the digital camera can't shoot that far). Riverside Park is underwater and apparently the McDonald's was as well.

Closer to home, the river flooded 3rd Street, putting a car wash and numerous homes underwater. Rte. 611 is similarly drowned.

On the other side of College Hill (where we live in Easton), the Delaware turned Eddyside Park into just an extension of itself, creating a few sink holes along Rte 611. Further upriver, the Delaware destroyed a home, which later floated downstream and apparently hit the Free Bridge.
