PHILADELPHIA, PA — The powerful storm that is approaching the Philadelphia area entering Halloween weekend could bring near-record floods to some areas, forecasters note, with water levels already elevated from bouts of heavy rain earlier this week.

The risk is especially high in tidal waterways that will swell at high tide, with the Delaware River predicted to rise to historic heights in the aftermath of the storm. At Washington Street in Philadelphia, where the river was already flooded to about 8 feet Friday morning, a crest of 10.3 feet — considered "major flood stage" — is expected by Friday evening. The all-time record, from Superstorm Sandy in 2012, is 10.6 feet.

===================

PENNSYLVANIA —Afternoon thunderstorms led to significant flash flooding for about three hours Monday evening in Bucks County, Philadelphia and South Jersey.

Forecasters with the National Weather Service estimated it was a 100-year flood, saying as much as 10 inches fell in a matter of hours in the impacted area. The flooding submerged cars on major roadways and led to evacuations.

Water rescue crews acted fast throughout the area as an estimated 6 - 10 inches of rainwater fell in the areas of Bensalem, Croydon, and Bristol, according to the National Weather Service.

 

Route 63 and Route 13 near Street Road in Northeast Philadelphia, Bristol Pike in Bucks County, and the Vine Street Expressway in Center City saw significant flooding. Cars on several roadways were partially submerged, and some residents had to be evacuated from their homes.

About Venice

By
  1. Venice was built on wooden piles – True. The city is constructed on millions of wooden piles driven into the clay and sand beneath the lagoon. Alder wood, known for its water resistance, was primarily used, along with oak and larch. 2. The wooden piles have petrified over time – Partially true. The piles haven’t literally turned into stone (petrification), but they have become extremely hard. This is because they are submerged in oxygen-poor water, which prevents decay and allows minerals from the water to gradually reinforce the wood. 3. St. Mark’s Campanile stands on 100,000 piles – False. The bell tower is supported by about 10,000 wooden piles, not 100,000. 4. Basilica della Salute required over a million trunks – Likely an exaggeration. The basilica does rest on thousands of piles, but claims of a million are probably inflated. 5. Piles are driven up to three meters deep and spaced half a meter apart – Generally accurate. The depth and spacing vary, but...
