due to this flooding i am assuming there will be at least a 2 hour delay, or a cancelation tomorrow?

You where right about the delay. I have the school scanner system in my scanner here at my house and it i coll because i am one of the first people to know if there is a delay or closing for any reason. my son, he listens to it also and he said this morning that he head Rick(the cool guy) and Mike(the other cool guy) talking and the roads then was water covered but still passable. It may have gotten worse but i don't know. IF THE RIVER CREASES AT 15 FEET, WILL THERE BE ANY SCHOOL BECAUSE OF THE FLOODING?
