People around Bucks County are taking stock of the damage after an unrelenting storm dumped torrential rain on the area, leading to what experts are calling a "100-year flood."

The mayor of Bensalem said he has reached out to state representatives in an effort to secure state assistance after the destruction on Monday.

At Lafayette Gardens Condominium in Bensalem, residents returned on Tuesday morning to look for pets and medication. The building was too damaged for them to stay there overnight.

Spray-painted X marks could been seen on doors all around the complex.

They were left by search and rescue crews during the height of the flooding as they went door to door to look for people trapped because the strong waters prevented doors from opening.

Marine units making the rescues on Monday had to navigate through the water and dodge submerged cars after nearly 10 inches of rain fell.

How did this even happen, rain is normal but there had to be another cause as to why the flooding was so extensive

Let them stay in their flood-ravaged condos. Enough is enough; don't make them move to temporary shelters.
