With evacuation orders under way across a wide area of central Pennsylvania, credit unions were closing branches early and sending staffers home as flooded roads and rain-swollen rivers – the remnants of Tropical Storm Lee – posed new dangers.

It had closed early Wednesday but reopened Thursday.
PCUA President/CEO James McCormack said the closing was ordered since "some employees were unable to make it home due to flooded roads on Wednesday and more than half could not make it to work today."
