Flooding Forces Evacuations in Pennsylvania and Sydney

Severe weather has led to multiple flooding incidents across the eastern United States, including evacuations in Pennsylvania and Western Sydney. In York County, over twenty individuals, including toddlers and pets, were rescued from a flooded campsite as Hurricane Debby caused rapid water rises, prompting a state of emergency declaration from Governor Shapiro. Similarly, in Avondale, floodwaters inundated an apartment complex, leading to the evacuation of residents and the establishment of a Red Cross shelter for those affected. In Western Sydney, four residents were rescued from waist-high floodwaters due to a burst water main, with no additional threats reported. The National Weather Service issued flash flood warnings in various Pennsylvania counties, urging residents to evacuate to safe locations amid ongoing flooding concerns. Emergency services continue to respond to these critical situations as communities assess damage and provide necessary support.
