Flood Cleanup Underway In Western Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania

The western end of Schuylkill County tried to get life back to normal Tuesday after floodwaters damaged homes and vehicles. “We are just trying to deal with the water,” Sheena Giebler, 36, of Tremont, said. Her family moved July 3 from Port Carbon to a house at 27 Spring St. in the borough. They didn’t expect their introduction to town would be a flood. Thankfully, they have flood insurance. Giebler, her husband, John, 43; their children, Jonathan, 17, Madison, 13, Hailey, 9, and Aiden, 5; and her in-laws, Bill, 72, and Patricia, 68, stayed at the house when the rain started to fall. While they are safe, their three vehicles are a total loss due to water damage, Sheena Giebler said.
