Showers and thunderstorms developed along a warm front across northern Pennsylvania in the afternoon and evening of the 22nd. With a tropical air mass in place, rainfall became very efficient especially over southern Armstrong and central Indiana counties in Pennsylvania. A nearly stationary set of storms produced 4-6 inches of rain across the area, with focus over Shelocta, in Indiana county. Several feet of rushing water over 422 lead to several water rescues as individuals were trapped in their vehicles. In addition, rail cars were swept off the tracks. Roadways remained closed through the morning of the 23rd, before yet another round of rain would fall. This event was estimated to be a 200-year flood, though this is unofficial at this time.
