ENS Mention of Vestal

From an Episcopal News Service story:
On the Susquehanna, the crest at Vestal, New York, near Binghamton, was also 15 feet above flood stage, and the highest ever recorded there. In Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, some 50,000 people had fled on the night of June 28, but the Susquehanna there rose only to 34 feet, well below its 41-foot floodwalls.

St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in Vestal had some flood problems in the basements of our two buildings, and two parishioner families had significant damage.

btw - We have received no inquiries from our diocesan office or the dean of our district about any damage from the historic flood. I guess concern for those on the orthodox side of the Anglican Communion is not a priority issue for the revolutionists in ecusa.
