Bad news for flood victims in Lackawanna and Luzerne counties. FEMA has now rejected an appeal of its decision in December to deny any assistance to Lackawanna, Wyoming, and Luzerne Counties for September's flooding. Congressman Matt Cartwright says he pushed for the federal government's reconsideration and says he's deeply disappointed in its decision. Flooding in September caused millions of dollars in damage to homes and businesses in Luzerne County's back Mountain, as well as in North Scranton & Clarks Summit in Lackawanna County. While federal assistance has been denied, loans through the U.S Small Business Administration are available to anyone affected by the flooding last September.
