Severe Flooding Claims Lives in Pennsylvania as Torrential Rains Continue: Northeast Braces for More Storms

Severe floods⁤ in Pennsylvania have resulted ⁢in at ⁣least five deaths ⁢and two ​people ⁤missing, ​as​ heavy rainfall⁢ continues to ​threaten ⁤the Northeast. ​The flash​ floods‌ occurred ⁢on​ Saturday‍ afternoon, trapping 11‍ vehicles⁣ on ⁢the ‍flooded Washington Crossing ⁤Road in‍ Upper⁢ Makefield. While⁣ eight people‌ were rescued from the cars, three vehicles‌ were swept away. The area, ​known for its historical significance‌ as⁣ the ​place ‌where George ⁢Washington⁢ crossed the Delaware River during⁣ the ‌Revolutionary‍ War,⁣ draws tourists year-round. ‍The heavy rain⁢ has also caused‌ flash⁤ flood warnings​ in parts⁢ of ⁢Connecticut, New York,‌ Massachusetts, ‍Maine, ⁣and neighboring states. Governor⁣ Kathy Hochul of New York has​ warned ⁤of ‌the⁤ danger ⁣of‌ flash flooding, emphasizing that cars can​ quickly ⁣go ⁤from a place of safety​ to ‌a place⁢ of death. Flight ‌disruptions have⁢ been ​reported at Newark Liberty⁢ International Airport in⁤ New‌ Jersey and Kennedy ​International⁣ Airport in ⁢New ​York⁢ due ‍to ⁤thunderstorms. The ‌deluge in Pennsylvania overwhelmed ​storm sewers,‍ brooks,⁤ and‌ streams, ⁢with an estimated ‌six‍ to seven inches​ of ⁢rain​ falling ⁤in less than ‍45 ‌minutes.​ Parts of the ⁢Delaware ‌Canal‌ in⁢ New Jersey and Pennsylvania‌ also spilled over, causing flooding on Route⁢ 29.​ The National⁣ Weather ⁢Service has issued a ​flash⁤ flood warning for‌ several counties in southeastern Pennsylvania,⁤ with more rainfall ⁤and ⁣storms ⁢expected‌ throughout the ⁢day. The recent ‍flooding comes ⁢after‌ a​ powerful‌ storm‌ devastated‍ parts ⁢of Vermont and⁢ upstate New ‍York, causing significant⁤ damage and loss of life. ⁢Experts attribute the increase in severe ‌weather events​ to a⁣ warming⁣ climate, which leads to⁣ more‌ intense rainfall‍ and ⁢flooding.
