Saturday morning saw more than six feet of floodwater in homes and along Main Street in Gilberton following a rainstorm Wednesday into Thursday. Residents and pets were evacuated and power was cut off to the affected areas as pumps were summoned from as far as New Jersey. Residents of the Schuylkill County town fear that more rain could make the problem worse. DONALD R. SERFASS/SPECIAL TO THE TIMES NEWS
