ALLENTOWN, Pa. - Up to 200,000 people in the Wilkes-Barre area were ordered to evacuate their homes Wednesday because of rising water on the Susquehanna River, swelled by a record-breaking deluge that has killed at least 10 people across the Northeast.
The northeastern Pennsylvania city, which was devastated by flooding in 1972 by the remnants of Hurricane Agnes, is now protected by levees. But county officials said they were being cautious because the Susquehanna was expected to crest just shy of the tops of the 41-foot floodwalls.
