[Tom McAndrew]

So, I'm posting the articles I can find at this time, knowing that I'll miss a few that have yet to be posted online, and also linking a few articles from recent days that I didn't post.

See any whales? I'm heading through Oil City Pa today so I'm sure I'll spot a few.

I'm not sure why anyone would go to Oil City anymore but maybe through would be ok (and I'm assuming you saw your quota of whales). If you went through last night you would have seen Oil Creek start to spill over it's banks. The city officials were evacuating everyone from Seneca Street and off the bridge.

If you went through last night you would have seen Oil Creek start to spill over it's banks. The city officials were evacuating everyone from Seneca Street and off the bridge.

I don't live to terribly far, probably 20 minutes north of it out in the sticks...I had to go through it for work today, always a depressing stretch. The other small towns in the area have at least tried to improve.

Oil Creek by my house is nearly up to the bridge. French Creek is real high as well. Glad I avoided the house my wife and I were going to buy along French Creek.
