Reply to comment by newmanification in Moving to Manyunk, tips for Winter driving? by [deleted]

If silverwood and leverington are underwater, the rest of the city is 100% fucked lol. That's a water level rise in the schuylkill of like 45ft.

I don’t know exactly where that is. I do know that parts of Manyunk flood frequently and I know several people who didn’t realize that and had their cars totaled with no insurance coverage. But hey, maybe you’ll never have to park at the bottom of the hill.

It's about 45 feet of elevation up the hill, the river would have to swallow the entirety of mainstreet up to the roof line.

I've lived in manayunk for 6 years now, I've always had ample time to move my car before a big storm. sucks if you're out of the country.
