(Photos) The Flooding Continues: Haunting Photos Of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Maryland
Wow, Â it is extremely saddening to see the conditions of these places– especially the ones that hit so close to home. As the flash floods continue, hundreds of thousands of people have been forced to evacuate and leave their homes and personal belongings behind in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. (The flooding has been in most of these places since Irene hit almost 2 weeks ago!!) Counting my blessings that my home and family are okay and sending my prayers to the families and people deeply effected by this mess! After the jump you can see photos of the devastation… @ItsLukieBaby
