The children and their family, who were visiting from Charleston, South Carolina, were driving to a barbecue when they got stuck in flash flooding, Upper Makefield Fire Chief Tim Brewer said Sunday afternoon.
Southeastern Pennsylvania was hit hard by heavy rain Saturday, less than a week after parts of the state had again faced flash flooding that deluged roadways and displaced dozens from their homes.
“New York State is once again seeing significant rainfall & we are prepared to help communities respond,” Gov.
Flash flood warnings were again in effect earlier Sunday in parts of the state, prompting officials to warn of potential landslides.
“There are flash flood warnings throughout the state today.
