North Codorus Township, Pa. - Heavy rain that fell across parts of York County on Wednesday caused flash flooding that led to road closures and several water rescues.

The Codrorus Creek in North Codorus Township turned into a raging river thanks to thunderstorms that just wouldn't quit.

"It was not like an ordinary thunderstorm that comes through," said resident Richard Fahs. "It just didn't move on. It just seemed to sit here."







Fahs and his wife watched the water spill over the road they've lived on for almost 50 years.

"The line of water seems to be pretty close to the line of water when Agnes went through," he said.

The creek spilled out of its banks again in nearby Seven Valleys.

"We had to get everybody out of here and get the center of town cleared out because basically the center of town was under water," said Jim Beil, assistant fire chief of Seven Valleys.

Dietrich's Nursery flooded and so did the fire company, where Bingo night was a bust. Instead of raising money, firefighters spent the evening cleaning up mud.

"It's the hardest rain I've seen it rain in a long time," Beil said.

North Codorus Township firefighters also had their hands full. They rescued three people from a home on Stoverstown Road and helped six others out of another house.

"We had ropes tied off to the piece of equipment for the rescue and we were using a boat at the other location, but the water started to recede so we were able to just walk them out," Fire Chief Warren Krout Jr. said.

It was a soggy story all around south central York County; one folks will be talking about for a while.

"This is one of the more hectic days that we've experienced in terms of floods and bad weather in the area from the road closings and evacuations, it has been the worst we've experienced, Krout said.

As of Wednesday night, Route 616 between Seven Valleys and Glen Rock was closed because of high water and structural damage.

While crews were at the station due to strong thunderstorms passing through the area. Engine 59-2 was alerted for a Structure Fire on Shaffers Church Rd. in Codorus Township. Engine 59-2 went en-route shortly after with a crew of 6 . While en route Chief 63 ( Miller ) went on scene with a detached garage on fire and also smoke coming from the home itself.  The crew from the Engine assisted on exstingushing the fire in the basement of the home and also extension into the family room above the fire in division 1 .  Crews began to overhaul the 2 buildings and the fire was put under control within 30 minutes.  Crews from the Rock cleared the scene at 19:22.

Here is an article from the York Newspaper Company

A lightning bolt crashed through the sky, ricocheted off a tree and then struck a garage in Codorus Township on Tuesday, causing a fire there and inside a house nearby, fire officials said.

A Codorus Township house fire was sparked by a lightning strike.

Christopher Laughman, a captain with Community Fire Co. in Seven Valleys, said the fire in the 3900 block of Shaffers Church Road traveled through wires from the detached garage to the house, where it started a fire in the basement.

Bob Namovicz, who lives next door to the Codorus Township home that burned

said he was working on his computer when he heard a "really sharp crack" and thought his home had been struck.

Instead, it was his neighbors' home. Namovicz said he rolled out his garden hose to help put out the garage fire, but that he lost pressure because the lightning "blew out my circuit breaker."

Laughman said several passers-by used buckets to scoop water from the house's pool to douse the flames. He added that no one was home at the time of the fire and that the basement blaze was under control in about a half-hour.
