Continued from page 1 that weather patterns will change where some will see more wet weather, others, drier. No one really knows how or where these changes will take place, but the scientists who dedicate their lives to studying these things all agree that it will happen. As we may experience more severe storms in the future, with greater frequency, we should use these events like the Sunday night’s rain to learn what to expect and where to be more prepared the next time it pours.

“If you are aware of recurring road or bridge damage, or damage to private property, that occurs during these heavy events, please report them to your elected officials so your community can be better prepared to deal with them in the future.”

When asked if the heavy rains meant the danger of forest fires was over, Zweibel was emphatic about his disagreement.

“I DO NOT think the fire risk is over. Looking out into the woods from my home office right now, all I see is leaves on the forest floor. While it will be cool and wet this week, one day with low humidity and higher temps or winds will absolutely dry those leaves out. The ground was so dry and wet go a good amount of rain quickly, so this will only delay the risk a couple of days. Until the ferns pop up in the forest, the risk will remain.”

Zwiebel serves as Emergency Management Coordinator for Dennison Township, Penn Lake Park Borough, and White Haven Borough.
