Daily News | Bucks County flooding showed the ‘violent forces of nature’
and the lives of her 9-month old baby and 2-year-old toddler, as the water forced them out of their vehicles and into the swirling, brown water. Others were holding onto tree limbs and trying to resist the angry and forceful pull of water.I’ve driven on that road more times than I can count. I wonder how I could ever desire to drive it again, knowing just how destructive its pathways became in those moments.
As a lifelong resident of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, I’ve always thought of the county as a community. So many times, I’ve watched and observed in awe as residents band together to support one another, no matter how much effort and strength it requires. What I take away from Saturday is to appreciate the heroes I live among, the many residents and first responders who give their all to rescuing and saving others. If there is anything positive to take away from this story, it is the amount of pride I feel to be a Bucks County resident, where so many of us congregate in times of need to provide support and comfort, a helping hand and listening ear.
Mr. Rogers has said that when difficult, frightening, and intense situations emerge, to always look for the helpers — the ones providing support, both physically and emotionally, carrying others through. Today, I am thinking of those impacted by Saturday’s tragic events, those who suffered loss and fear, those who suffered emotionally and still do, and also those who are the heroes, because I know there are many.
