Hurricane Erin May Bring Some Delaware River Flooding

LOWER BUCKS COUNTY, PA — Bristol Borough could be one of the Lower Bucks County towns that sees some minor flooding from Hurricane Erin.

The National Weather Service said there is a minor risk for coastal flooding on the Delaware River up to Trenton from Wednesday through Thursday.

That risk could impact the Bristol Wharf, which is prone to flooding from storms due to its proximity to the Delaware River.
