Over the weekend, tragedy struck Pennsylvania when a flash flood burst into the streets, destroying homes and sweeping away cars. Eleven cars were submerged in a flood of water when the heavy downpour hit while they were parked on General Washington Memorial Boulevard.
Five individuals have died so far, but there are still a few people missing. Katie Seley, a 32-year-old South Carolina mother who was visiting relatives with her family when the unexpected occurred, was one of the people who perished in the sudden flood.
While Katie passed away, Jim Sheils, their oldest son Jack, 4, and her mother Dahlia, 62, all escaped the water unscathed. Katie’s husband, however, did not. While Katie and her mother were attempting to bring the other two kids, Mattie and Conrad, to safety when the flood caught hold of them, three members of the family are safe.
