The first official guesstimate of how much damage Tropical Storm Lee caused Dauphin County is in – and it is a large figure. Not as large as the incinerator debt, but daunting nonetheless.
The magic number is $52.7 million worth of damage to commercial and residential properties in the county. That is just one county out of MANY. This storm will be very costly!
Harrisburg officials say they will need 60 days to come up with a number on how much they spent and the amount the city will be seeking in reimbursement from FEMA.
In other news, the National Guard will be pumping out basements in Shipoke since the city says it does not have the expertise or the manpower to do so.
