A friend was out enjoying his RV along the Delaware River in northeast Pennsylvania.
Did… the river come to him? at the campsite?
Yes. I believe that the river channel is to the right of the trees in the upper right of the picture; they were on a flat area normally above the river.
I think you’re probably right right, as the white water beyond the line of trees likely indicates the stream itself, & the brown water to the left of it likely is the overflow itself.
Riverside is beautiful until rivers do what rivers do when there is more water added to the flow.
Your friend is lucky that the water is shallow enough there to not be too swift flowing.
Like coasts with storm surge, humans have built a lot of things within the natural flood plain of the rivers.
Coupla hurricanes a bit back: Irene and Sandy turned the Hudson River totally brown and all of the upstate creeks over-ran their banks, as I recall. I was not keeping track of the reservoir levels at the time, just hoping to drive upstate and back without encountering flooded roads.
Here in southern California, we are getting record warm water temps. Today is 8.6 degrees F above the average. It is 76+ degrees.
I have lived within 15 miles of the beach most of my life, and I have never been in water above 74 degrees. Some years it peaks in the high sixties.
People here in southern California are seeing warm water fish like hammerhead sharks and whale sharks that usually stay down in Mexico. Now I don’t have to pay for scuba vacations down in Mexico. The fish are coming up here.
I love global warming.
Just spent $9k to replace the ducts in the attic. 
I first thought the AC broke but the ducts had several leaks and all the AC was blowing into the attic while the rest of the house roasted.
That’s a lot of ducts… Geez - $9K. Wow
I got quoted $12K for an entirely new system (furnace / AC indoor unit, outdoor unit, air handler).
It’s a 2-story house. Cali and NY are both known for high prices 
These are the same people who replaced our AC ~5 years ago. These guys have consistent 5-star ratings (out of 5) so we didn’t even shop around.
We’re at the age where we want all our repairs and replacements to outlive us so we don’t have to deal with them again.
… leaky ducks … isn’t that just another form of bird do do?
...
we’ll show ourself out … but in our defense, we have read too much @dwat0870
I get it but that’s a lot of $. I thought NY was expensive. Haha…
From the day we moved into this house, and it was new at the time, I always dreaded dealing with the HVAC here. 1 System for each floor, and they are identical. The problem with floor 2 is everything is in the attic and the builder was nice enough to not put any plywood down to be able to service it without falling through the ceiling… Haha. So far that system has been OK for the last 20 years…
This could be a minor problem if you fix it now, or a big problem if you have to fix it in a rush later. I recommend fixing it now while you can do so at your leisure. ( Or, if the attic is too hot, at least wait no longer than the first cool day in fall. )
All that is required is some 3/4 wood - maybe plywood, maybe old pieces of shelving. Use the biggest pieces that you can comfortably drag into your attic. Any attic entrance that is big enough for a human is probably also big enough for a 4-foot long piece of 1x12.
Attach them to the joists with drywall screws. ( Using a countersink results in a really clean installation )
It is easy. I’ve done it before. It requires minimal DIY skills and minimal tools. Do it soon and it can save you a lot of trouble later.
Another trick is to have 3 pieces of 3/4 plywood cut 36 in x 18 in (if rafters are 16 in on center). Basically, you just move the pieces around on the rafters to get to where you are going and coming back.
We set up a strip 24 in wide down the center of the attic and then use the pieces to go out off of that to any where we want to go. That enables us to have access to replace any insulation that might need to be replaced and to have easy access to all electrical items in the attic. Our central heating/air is up there and has a 24 in strip down both sides to be on to perform maintain work.
We prefer plywood over 1x12 planks. Planks tend to dry out in our area and can snap when weight is placed on them. Plywood holds up better under our conditions. Each area has different parameters so use what is best for your area.
there is a new modular plastic plank system that i have seen but not touched yet that aparently makes putting an access deck in your atic simple as pie. I have to find the name now
Plank_Thine_Attic ?
Quick search Whoops, we couldn't find that.
I mean plywood is going to be less but way more labor
Yup. I added floor joists and lofted my garage attic for a big storage area when we moved in so def can handle it and you’re right. This really should be done, this fall…
There’s an attic fan and roof vents but it’s still hot as hell up there in the summer…
I agree - I’ve done this more than a few times myself - but in my experience, “Deckmate” T-25 (Torx-head) screws offer superior performance, when working w/ wood 1/2" thick or larger, over the more-spindly drywall screws.
Over the last 40 years or so, it’s become increasingly common for contractors to simply drape electrical wires & various communication cabling atop the joists (even when the local building code strictly prohibits that exceedingly-lazy technique); in such situations, I do not recommend placing plywood directly atop the joists w/o using some sort of ‘spacer’ (furring strips work well for this) to keep such wiring from being unduly compressed - and thereby increasing the possibility of hysteresis loops & other costly power/signal propagation problems.
