Pennsylvania flooding

 Updated Oct 29, 2021 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. source: https://patch.com/pennsylvania/haverford/s/hwbdk/historic-flooding-possible-as-storm-approaches-eastern-pa?utm_source=alert-breakingnews&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=alert   =================== PENNSYLVANIA —Afternoon thunderstorms led to significant flash fl...
