Wilkes-Barre and many other towns and cities have been evacuated do to the rain so what do you think about this also for people trapped by floods stay safe.

• Answer:

  I actually live in Pittsburgh, but have forecasted for Harrisburg and vicinity while at Penn State from 2006-10. What happened was essentially the remnants of TS Lee being swallowed by a stalled out low pressure system and front. The moisture was gathered into the mid-latitude cyclone, which then began to slow down. Hershey was in the middle of southerly flow not only because of the low, but also laid parallel to the jet stream over the area. As the storm slowed - and then stopped - the flow persisted over the area for days now, producing a constant stream of moisture from the subtropics. What would stop the rain would be for the jet to become less south to north and more west to east, which would allow the stalled low to move - and the rain bands to move out.
