Unforeseen Rainstorms Turn Bucks County into a Flood Zone

Heavy rains are pounding an already saturated Northeast for the second time in a week, spurring another round of flash flooding, canceled airline flights and power outages.

A sudden flash flood also swamped a southeastern Pennsylvania road late Saturday afternoon, sweeping several cars away and claiming at least four lives.

Authorities say three other people, including a 9-month-old child, remain missing in Bucks County’s Upper Makefield Township. Hundreds of flights were canceled at New York-area airports because of the weather, and Tweed New Haven Airport in Connecticut closed its terminal.

Resident from Yardley Nick Primola said people are used to the flooding weather but were caught off guard that the flooding reached to the little side streets in the neighborhood.

Thousands of homes and businesses lost power. In Vermont, which saw major flooding last week, officials said a dozen state roads remain closed.
