Get ready Philadelphia Real Estate, Hurricane Sandy is on her way! If you live in a flood zone you might want to head for higher ground!
Philadelphia has many flood prone areas, including but not limited to:
- Cobbs Creek and the marsh lands in the southwest sector of the City;
- Other City creeks & streams including Pennypack, Poquessing, Tacony, Frankford, and Wissahickon Creeks;
- Main Street Manayunk;
- Portions of the Philadelphia Naval Base;
- Delaware River which is usually first observed along Delaware Ave & Ben Franklin Bridge;
- In the Northeast where Linden Avenue meets the Delaware; and
- Kelly and Lincoln Drives.
It is strongly recommended that Philadelphians living in flood prone areas make alternative arrangements to stay with family or friends whose homes are not prone to flooding for the course of this event and until the flooding threat subsides.

Philadelphia Flooding After Hurricane Irene
Here are some pictures of Philadelphia in the aftermath of Hurricane Irene. As you can see, Manayunk flooded pretty badly, as expected by the Philadelphia Flood Prone Areas.
All pictures are courtesy of philly.com. Check out: Images from Hurricane Irene for more.
My desk at 1619 Walnut St. Philadelphia PA, 19103 was affected by Irene as well. Casualties include: 1 left computer monitor, 1 keyboard, 1 box of tissues, 1 desk calendar, 2 notepads…. and 1 Phillie Phanatic.
I stole Georgine’s keyboard to bring you this post. She’s on vacation, so it’s OK.
