Missing Persons and Continued Weather Threat
Brewer confirmed that two female victims and one male had been recovered. Meanwhile, the local police department’s search efforts are ongoing for the three to four individuals still missing, including two children from the same family. As of Sunday, a flash flood warning remained in effect for several counties, and the National Weather Service stated that heavy rainfall and further flash flooding were still a concern for areas in southeastern Pennsylvania.
Residents such as Michael Adler, a local lawyer, shared his harrowing experience, “I’ve never seen roads that flooded that quickly. It just happened so quickly. It was like six inches of rain in literally 20 minutes.”
