Numerous counties in southcentral Pennsylvania, including Adams, Lebanon and York, are under a flood watch for Wednesday, July 16 as the rain just keeps coming. The National Weather Service issued the flood watch, which is in effect from 5 p.m. through the evening. Thunderstorms could deliver up to 2 inches of rain per hour, the weather service said.

The heavy rainfall could cause flash flooding. Parts of York County are still cleaning up after thunderstorms prompted flash flooding and water rescues on Monday evening. Emergency responders rushed to four water rescues and one sinking vehicle as a result of the flash flooding, Ted Czech, public information officer for the York County Office of Emergency Management/York County 911, has said. Residents are reminded not to drive through flooded roadways or go around barricades that close off a street for emergency purposes. Some roads and bridges suffered damage from the flooding. Lower Windsor Township Police posted photos of a road that was broken up from the excessive water. The York County Office of Emergency Management is taking reports of storm damage to see if the area might qualify for financial help from the state or the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
