Galeton August Weather Report
Galeton had a very wet August thanks to 8 thunderstorms. Severe flooding took place in Westfield, Knoxville and surrounding areas. Pine Creek overflowed throughout the valley. Galeton suffered waterline damage and the town was without water for the most part of 2 days. The sewage line was broken in the area of Clinton St. Many homes had flooded basements which resulted in damaged furnaces and water heaters. Electricity was off for 4 hours which, of course, shut down basement sump pumps. I have lived in Galeton most of my life and I have never seen flooding like this. River Street was under water. The school and lower Germania Streets were saved by the dikes.
Many people have asked me “how much rain did we get”. Here is the answer to that question. The monthly rainfall total was 10.25″ Last year we received 6.82″.
The major rainfall event occured with thunderstorms overnight on the 8th and early morning of the 9th. During that time I measured .84″ at 8am. From 8am to noon we received 2,54″ for a total of 3.38″ . That was a lot of rain in that 4 hour period. Other parts of the northern tier received more. Iy rushed down the ravines and hollows taking out bridges, roads and buildings.
We only had 13 days without measurable rainfall. We had 24 foggy mornings. We had morning readings mostly in the mid 60s and the afternoons warmed up into the 80’s.
The mowing season is almost over. Next it will be leaf raking time. Of course everyone knows what follows that.
I will enclose a photo of the Galeton waterfall, Falling Springs. It once was one of the 3 or 4 sources for excellent water.
