Yep, although they hadn't quite finished it before the next flood, so Sunbury flooded again. Then, it was so long with no flooding that they were trying to get the wall torn down (for better views of the river) when Agnes hit.

I also remember when they built "Fabridam", the worlds largest inflatable Dam, and put in that lovely marina that was promptly washed away by I think by Agnes.

Here's a link to the Fabridam Web Cam:

I've been looking at the flooding pictures, and I keep seeing things and saying "Hey, I've walked along that track", or "I've stood on that railroad bridge". We visited Sunbury and Selinsgrove (my mother's home town) a few times a year, and I'd go all over the place. It's a lovely area, when it isn't under water.
