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.
