Frequently asked questions
Agnes was 1972. Why is Allison Hill still the wet side after a July storm?
Agnes was the river. Allison Hill is the grade to the river. July cells run those streets into the downhill wall whether or not the Susquehanna left its banks. The flats have the flood story. The hill has the runoff story. They share a month and a city. They do not share a source.
Our row is blocks from the river and it still takes water. From where?
From uphill. Allison Hill sheds July runoff down onto the next row of houses, so a block well back from the Susquehanna takes rain that fell several streets above it. The river accounts for only half of what wets these cellars.
The cellar has a stain at a line nobody has seen water reach in years. Agnes?
Could be. 1972 silt and a high-water line can stay in brick for decades as a wick even when the river has been ordinary. It can also be a later July surcharge that found the same joint. Either way the line is a path. Painting over it without draining it leaves the next July a highway.
