Also while monitoring that action it was noted that they spotted a thousand gallon propane tank traveling down the rapids with several large trees following at close pursuit! :shock: They also called for the Wallpack Dam to be opened which created a four foot wall of water on top of what was already being dealt with.Busy day in the area for scanner monitors.Most if not ALL the bridges are shut down in that area on the PA & NJ sides at this time.The NJSP trunked system is really producing some very intense listening during this wide spread incident.
