Woman Found Dead After Heavy Rain Floods Region
From Mike Dougherty
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Record rainfall flooded roads, stranded motorists and residents, prompted water rescues around the region and claimed the life of a woman in Collegeville. The storm dumped 11-inches of rain on Garterford, Montgomery County, and just an inch or two less on surrounding suburbs. Nearly five inches of rain fell in Philadelphia and dozens of schools were closed for the day.
The Schuylkill River in Philadelphia rapidly approached flood levels. The water level continued to rise as the day progressed, even after the rain stopped, because it takes ground water some time to travel to the river.
