Mar 29, 2005
A strong Atlantic coast storm brought heavy rain with amounts between 1 and 3 inches on the 28th. In addition, snowmelt was causing elevated river flows before the rain started late on the 27th. Water equivalent of the snowmelt was a few more inches. The Susquehanna River at Conklin went above its flood stage of 11 feet early on the 29th, crested at 15.09 feet at 2:30 PM on the 29th. The river stayed above flood stage into April due to additional snowmelt.
