                                        FLOOD IN BINGHAMTON (VIRGINIA STATE) 

After heavy rainfall, northern stretches of the swollen Susquehanna River began receding Friday from the remnants of Tropical Storm Lee flooded communities from Virginia to New York, leading to evacuation orders for nearly 100,000 people.
The damage was concentrated along the Susquehanna in Binghamton, N.Y.; in towns up- and downriver from levee-protected Wilkes-Barre, where more than 70,000 people were told to evacuate; and communities farther downstream in Maryland.
The Susquehanna crested at 42.66 feet Thursday night in Wilkes-Barre — beyond the design capacity of the city's levee system and higher than the record set in historic flooding spawned by Hurricane Agnes in 1972.Local community said ,they have ever seen such a flood 60  years before.
