A 9-month-old boy and his 2-year-old sister are still missing after devastating flash flooding claimed the lives of five people in Bucks County over this weekend.
Officials said storms dumped upwards of seven inches of rain in approximately 45 minutes at General Washington Memorial Boulevard near Washington Crossing and the surrounding area around 5:30 p.m.
Upper Makefield Township Police identified the missing baby boy and his sister as Conrad and Matilda "Mattie" Sheils. Officials say they have tripled their underwater and air assets as weather conditions continue to impact the search, which will last until dark Monday night and be re-evaluated in Tuesday morning.
Officials went on to say a family from South Carolina was driving to a barbeque when their car was overwhelmed by flood water. The dad and his four-year-old son got out of the vehicle and made it to safety. The mother and a grandmother took the nine-month-old and two-year-old, but were swept up in the raging water. The grandmother is said to be in stable condition as of Monday morning.
"This is the second time we had a major flood like this, where the water came up over the bridge, but not as disastrous as this," neighbor Allen Haldeman said. In addition, many roadways across the eastern portion of Bucks County were closed, due to roads that are broken because of the heavy rainfall or downed trees.
