Throughout the day Wednesday 9/7/11 remnants of Tropical Storm Lee moved through NewYork and Pennsylvania. At the same time storms formed in Virginia and eventually train tracked, which is storms form a line and move in the same area one after another, into the area Lee had left. Over the course of the day Seeley Creek rose slowly as volunteers staffed station 1 in case of any emergency. Towards the evening the rain seemed to have moved out of the area as areas east of us started to flood and get into a problem area. Night fell upon Webbs Mills and not until early morning Thursday did a problem arise. At 0200 hrs Webbs Mills Fire Officials put into affect the pre-plan that was established Tuesday night at a special meeting. With heavy rains starting up again and Seeley Creek coming about a foot from flooding into Station 1 crews were dispathched for manpower to the station. With a strong response Webbs Mills Vol. Fire Dept. was able to act quickly and move all apparatus and necessary equipment to the Webbs Mills United Methodist Church, which was on higher ground, and established a command post with the possibility of the flooding becoming a major event.

        Once established at the church volunteers were given assignments to apparatus and sent to monitor water rising at different locations. With the situation worsening, some crews evacuated parts of Pennsylvania Ave. and State Route 328 due to the danger of these residences and bussinesses flooding. Everyone finally caught a break when the rain ceased and debris stuck under the bridge on Rt. 328 cleared and water began to flow smoothly again. By 0400 hrs. The water levels of the creek began to decrease dramaticly. Minor flooding was an issue on arts of Pennsylvania Ave. and Bird Creek Rd. but by 0700 hrs. the command post moved back to the Webbs Mills Firehouse. Crews stood by throughout the day Thursday and helped a few neighbors with water problems that were threatening utilities.
