[AT] OT - Remnants of Ivan

[Rob Gray]

I'm not sure where that marina was but it might have been on the 
Susquehanna River which is the other major river in eastern PA, but is 
an hour or so west of me. . Near me some houses came down the river 
intact but then hit the bridge in town and exploded on impact. The 
account is related in the article linked below:
