Event narrative (NOAA)
Flooding on the Swatara Creek resulted in one fatality when a 74 year-old man drove around a flood barrier on Route 645 (Geary Wolfe Road) just south of Pine Grove and was swept away in the flood waters. A swift water rescue was attempted, but the man had already drowned in his truck.
