Texas flood brings back memories of one similar in NEPA

STROUDSBURG, MONROE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU)— The tragedy in Texas serves as a powerful reminder of what mother nature is capable of and for one local community, the story brings back terrible memories.

28/22's Avery Nape met with a member of that community Thursday afternoon to find out why the disaster in the southwest hit home for them.

The parallels drawn between last week's flood in Texas and a 1955 flood in Monroe County, are startling.

"It was like Deja Vu all over again," recalled Craig Schaffer, Stroudsburg.
