First responders have launched high-water rescues in rural New York and Pennsylvania amid flash flooding from the remnants of storm Debby.
First responders launched high-water and helicopter rescues of people trapped in cars and homes in rural New York and Pennsylvania as heavy rain from the remnants of Debby slammed the Northeast with intense floods. The worst of the flash flooding so far in New York was in a largely rural area south of the Finger Lakes, not far from the Pennsylvania border.
Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency Director Randy Padfield said a National Guard helicopter with aquatic rescue capability was sent to Tioga County, in the region that runs along the New York state line. Padfield said Tioga officials have asked for help with eight to 10 rescue locations, and multiple boat-based rescues were being conducted. In Potter County, also on the border with New York, the storm took out bridges and damaged Route 49, said Commissioner Bob Rossman.
