Is the Emmaus Farmers Market cancelled Sunday or is it still going on as scheduled

Emmaus HAS cancelled the market for tomorrow.

Does Emmaus have any shelters, if things get really bad ????? The movie theatre would seem like a safe place....

South Whitehall is opening a shelter at Orefield Middle School, by 8:45 p.m. for the county. In response to residents' concerns that folks would have a place to go, if necessary, particularly those in mobile homes. South Whitehall's working in conjunction with Upper Mac, Red Cross, Lehigh County EM Man, and C.E.R.T.

Did anyone else just see fireworks coming from Lehigh Country Club?

Fireworks are from a wedding reception at Lehigh CC

What is the status of the flooding in the SV area? Has the Saucon flooded the usual areas of Meadows Road and Walnut Street yet?

Traffic has been steady on the road all night, but currently I am in Orefield.

Power's out on my block of Adrain st!

From facebook postings it seems to be spread around Emmaus but not everywhere (yet!)

Winds are picking up in South Whitehall - howling winds to be exact and it's raining at an angle.

Rain and wind is picking up here in Lehigh County, near Orefield. Rain is intensifing as it moves west through the state, that was not forecasted.

Water in my basement at present, and I live on Main Street.

We are without power on chestnut and cedar crest, emmaus. Does anyone know if and when we will regain power?

Lots of rain and wind here in Mt Bethel. I will be jinxing myself by typing this, but we have not yet lost power, which is mind-boggling. We seem to be on MetEd's permanent "kill the power to these people first no matter what" list, so I am still on guard.

My elderly parents are in Easton; I live in California. Is the power out? It's around 5 am EDT.

Turned on Coast to Coast AM just now for fun (790 am, 1-5 a.m. nightly), topic is Irene...would you believe the caller right now is from the Lehigh Valley?

Michael - the Southside (Centre/Line/Williams) had power as of about a hour ago when I last spoke to my boyfriend.

Thanks Pamela. Didn't want to call them at this hour, but I'm worried because my stepdad is on a resirator.

Ron Young of PennDOT reports speed limits on rtes. 22, 33 and 78 have been reduced to 45 mph, and the agency is on the lookout for mudslides in prone areas. Just on WAEB traffic reportk, 790 am. Additionally, extra crews are on today to deal with problems as they may arise.

Scanner reports indicate a water rescue in progress on Lehigh Drive in Easton. That road has been closed for hours.
Folks, DON'T ATTEMPT TO DRIVE THROUGH WATER COVERED ROADWAYS! Six inches of water can strand your vehicle, 18 or less can carry it (and you) away....

Schoenersville Road, at Route 22 is reportedly under 3 feet of water.

Reports indicate that the Bushkill is rising very quickly. Bushkill Drive at Stocker Mill Road is under water, says the scanner, and other places on both sides (think Tatamy Road) are imminently to follow.

The Hope House in Bethlehem has reportedly taken on 4-5 feet of water in the basement and was just evacuated.
Additionally, fire department personnel are being called in for basement pump outs on Main Street in Hellertown.

In the 3900 block of Kenwick Drive in Bethlehem Twp., police are responding to a report of a shed that has floated away, with fears that it might hit and damage a telephone pole....

In many municipalities across Northampton County, basement pump out calls are piling up, and county dispatch is beginning to fax the lists to the fire departments.
If your basement is flooding and your sump pump can't keep up, or your power is out, it would be a good idea to call your problem in and get in line now...

Reports indicate 13 people were evacuated from an apartment complex in Hellertown?

Reports indicate that that Route 309 is closed due to flooding between East Hopewell Road and Center Valley Parkway/Saucon Valley Road.

Reports inidcate that Black River Raodis closed due to flooding between Bigen Raod and Wyndott Street.

Reports indicate that Landis Mill Raod is closed between Weyhill amd Old Philadelphia Pike.

FOLKS! Stop trying to drive on Lehigh Drive between Glendon, Wilson and West Easton. It is closed for a reason and your vehicle can't swim!
(In response to about the fifth water rescue scanner report on that road in the last 5 hours.)

Do we know when we will get back power in emmaus. Anybody ????

Northampton County scanner reports indicate that 6 inches or more is needed to consider basement water leakage an emergency and warrant a pump out at this time....

Emmaus Moravian Church is cancelling the Sunday morning worship service due to power outage and flooding in basement.

Reports indicate that traffic is being prevented from exiting I-78 into Hellertown and Bethlehem.

Somewhat high winds (judging by the trees blowing around out there) still here in South Whitehall and of course the rain continues...would have checked in sooner but I've been in the basement for the last 2 hours - we had a bit of a kiddie pool down there. :(

Reports indicate that Lower Saucon Road is closed due to flooding as well as Applebutter Road.

A state of Emergency has been decleared in Hellertown!

Reports indicate that Spring Valley Road is closed due to flooding between Route 378 and Washington Lane.

Any more information on the State of Emergency that has declared in Hellertown?

All of us living between the high st bridge and seidersvile bridge in Bethlehem are morooned. Ravena st is closed for flooding and there is a car stuck in the silvex rd tunnel.

My photos were taken of the area between Water Street and Meadows Road after 7 AM Sunday, August 28th

Thanks for the pictures Richard. Needless to say those Raods are closed.

Not finding much info on the Lower Saucon Township or Hellertown Borough websites? Where are all the township and borough officials?

This is just like Ivan!

10 water rescues in Northampton County alone!

Why does the Emmaus Patch only have one picture of Emmaus in the Hurricane pics??

Reports indicate Black River Road is closed due to trees down.

There is a downed tree in upper macungie on Cetronia road. The road
is closed between krocks rd and mill creek.

The crew responded quickly and removed the tree from the road. Cetronia has reopened

Haasandahl Road in Upper Macungie has several downed trees accross it. The nearby Jordan Creek has flooded into the roadway and trapped at least one car. The Fogelsville Dam, near Haasandahl Road and Route 100, is in danger of collapsing.

Lower Macungie Road is closed at Millrace Rd. due to downed tree on power lines. Detour through Millbrook Farms.

Power finally back on in Emmaus

Got power restored in Emmaus at 3:15 pm. Went out AGAIN around 5 for a minute or two, then returned again. Please keep those flashlights and candles handy, just in case we lose power again! If you need ice for your food, Giant on Emmaus Ave ran out of ice this morning. Redner's on Lehigh Street had no power. I got my ice at the convenience store behind the McDonald's on Lehigh Street but they didnt' have much left. You might have to drive to another town to find ice. Remember Emmaus wasn't the only community to lose power and other people might have bought up all the ice and some stores might be closed.

Weis in Emmaus was open all day on a generator and had a new supply of ice if anyone still needs it! Hope everyone is back on the grid!

I'd like to know why there were kids running up our street behind Jefferson Elementary School, yelling like banshees, at 1am when the hurricane was at its worst. My husband and I jumped out of bed, ready to call 911 cus we thought someone was injured.

Where were the parents? These kids weren't educated in the dangers of running around in the middle of a hurricane? If any of the wires were in the water, they could have stepped on them! There were lightning dangers too. There were sharp objects in the water that they could have injured themselves on.

C'mon people!! Instruct your children better and lay some ground rules when there is an emergency like this. >_<
