A search and rescue mission is ongoing in Bucks County after vehicles were swept away in a flash flooding event after torrential rain fell Saturday evening.
Officials said thunderstorms dumped upwards of four inches of rain in an hour at General Washington Memorial Boulevard near Washington Crossing around 5:30.
The deluge overtook occupied vehicles near the river, prompting multiple crews to assist in the search and rescue. Authorities said they were going to work through the night. In addition, many roadways across the eastern portion of Bucks County were closed, due to roads that are broken due to the heavy rainfall or downed trees.
In Lower Makefield Township, River Road, between Mt. Eyre and Woodside roads were closed, as well as Taylorsville Road, between Aqueduct and Hilltop roads.

County Executive Chris Ronayne has proposed a 40-year extension of the county’s quarter-percent sales tax. That needs to be fully and fairly debated, also. Anything less would be a betrayal of the public interest, writes the editorial board of The Plain Dealer and cleveland.com.
