The big news story last night was that 200,000 people were evacuated in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania as the Susquehanna approached levee-breaking levels. There are also some really incredible photos and tragic stories in the news today. This article, which quotes the death toll at 12 so far, has some incredible photos and more can be found at Yahoo and The Wilkes Barre Times Leader. WFMZ has a lot of interactive photos and video. The tragic story and photo below is from the Associated Press:

Two truckers one headed east, the other west, separately drove their trucks into the chasm and were killed. The drenching rains that flooded homes, closed roads and cut power forced the evacuation of thousands of people across upstate New York. (Ap Photo/Jim McKnight)
