Several local roads were shut down Saturday night as storms with heavy rain and high winds once again ripped through the area leaving fallen trees in their path.

Crews were dispatched to trees across both Laurel Drive and East White Bear Drive in Summit Hill just after 9 p.m. on Saturday. East White Bear Drive was closed as was the Jim Thorpe side at Lentz Trail and Center Avenue, according to local officials.

“Jim Thorpe had some of the highest rain totals over the last 48 hours at 3.29 inches,” Mary Gilbert of AccuWeather said Monday morning. “In the Lehighton area, we are looking at between 1.5-2.5 inches.”

Closer to 10 p.m. Saturday, crews also responded to a terrain rescue at Bake Oven Knob in East Penn Township, according to Carbon County dispatchers.

As a result of the recent rainfall, the US Geological Survey says the Lehigh River is higher than normal for this time of the year.

Northampton County was one of the heaviest hit areas during the weekend storm.

Gilbert said Nazareth totaled 4.68 inches of rain, while Easton came in between 3-4 inches and Martins Creek finished at 4.24 inches.

Dispatchers reported a water rescue in the Mine Land Road and Division Street area of the county as well as Lower Mount Bethel. Multiple vehicles were stuck in floodwaters near Sullivan trail and Newlins Mill Road in Tatamy.

“Local first responders have had to respond to numerous calls of drivers stuck in floodwaters,” Northampton County officials said Sunday afternoon in a social media post. “At this juncture, very fortunately, there appears to be no fatalities associated with the severe flash flooding we’ve experienced. But, it is worth repeating that you should not attempt to drive through flooded roadways. Not only are you endangering your own life, but you’re putting the health and safety of the first responders who come to rescue at risk as well.”

The west end of Monroe County caught a little bit of a break in the most recent storm, Gilbert said, with Brodheadsville totaling just 1-1.5 inches of rain.

In Bucks County’s Upper Makefield Township, officials said torrential rains occurred around 5:30 p.m. Saturday in the Washington Crossing area, sweeping away several cars. At least five people died and two children, a 9-month-old boy and his 2-year-old sister, remained missing, authorities said.

The area should be dry for a few days.

“The good news is eastern Pennsylvania looks pretty dry Monday,” Gilbert said. “While there may be a chance for a pop up storm Tuesday afternoon, the next chance for any kind of significant precipitation looks like late Thursday into early Friday.”
