Floodwaters overtook the canal which spilled over it's banks and washed out parts of River Road north of Scudders Falls Bridge.

Thank you for such awesome videography. Wonderful job.
Thanks I appreciate the positive feedback
I used to live in these areas in the early 1980s and it used to flood all the time.
Finally a cop shows up. I thought River Road was closed down that way.
I was there that night right after the flash flooding. I had know idea what happened until the next day.i had a delivery on Aqueduct road.
Were you in the electric Amazon van that stopped and talked to me?
This is so tragic. 2 miles from my house. I can’t believe the lives that were taken. I’m so sorry.
didnt they haft to send rescue marines out
I'm not sure I didn't make it all the way to the actual scene to see what the actual operations were.
that flood was filling my radio with a lot of calls last night
What Bucks channel was it on? North?
They initially were using East band but then switched over to one of the encrypted tac channels
@@rrobertsnot5150 hey ron is it possible that we can meet at the lfhrs and wait for squad 154 to come out of his bay ??
its river road. Live by the river, this is waht rivers do....
The river wasn't the problem. The flooded occured from ongoing torrential downpours causing flash flooding downhill toward the canal and river.
Need a better insfrastructure ASAP...
been a bit since this flooded --but it used to in the 70's and the 80's all you need is enough rain. don't live down there anymore but the "island" in morrisville used to flood out all the time as well. they'll call this " climate change" now
