Hatboro Area At Risk For Heavy Flooding, Officials Warn

HATBORO, PA — Lansdale is among the areas most at risk for flooding in Montgomery County on Monday morning, officials with the county warn.

Runoff from heavy rainfall will cause creeks and streams to quickly overflow, especially in areas that already received large amounts of rain during Saturday's storm.

The Montgomery County Department of Public Safety included Hatboro on its list of flood prone areas to watch out for Monday morning, along with Lansdale, West Norriton, East Norriton, Norristown, and Conshohhocken.

Water rescues were in progress across the county on Monday morning, with an especially heavy concentration of incidents in the King of Prussia area.

In addition, the Pennsylvania Turnpike was shut down in Montgomery County between Valley Forge and Norristown due to flooding.

Motorists are reminded to never drive through flooded areas, but to always turn around when they come to large pools of standing water.
