Serious Flash Flooding Reported In Lambertville

THE LATEST: All Lambertville Waterways Breached Banks: Flooding Updates

LAMBERTVILLE, NJ — There are reports of serious flash flooding that is ongoing Wednesday night in Lambertville as the region endures the remnants of Ida.

Sources report that water has inundated streets and homes in the community, which sits along the Delaware River.

Delaware River water levels at the New Hope-Lambertville Bridge were projected to reach 15.3 feet, the National Weather Service said Wednesday.

The flash flooding comes just after a series of tornado warnings were issued across the region. Several tornadoes are believed to have touched down, including in Washington Crossing and South Jersey.

Area police tell residents they have been inundated with calls.

"To say we are busy is an understatement. We ask that you please stay off the roads," police in Upper Makefield said Wednesday evening.

The National Weather Service had predicted minor to major flooding as the remnants of Hurricane Ida swept through the region.

The Delaware River was expected to pass flood stage thresholds at checkpoints in Stockton, Washington Crossing and New Hope.

At the Delaware River's Stockton checkpoint, the NWS forecasted that water levels would reach 22 feet. That's 4 feet higher than its flood stage and means conditions of "moderate" flooding along several roads.

At Washington Crossing, the river was predicted to hit water levels of 18.9 feet early Friday morning. That would put water levels at 2.9 feet above the flood stage. With water levels that high, flooding can be expected on Lower River Drive in Washington Crossing State Park, Upper Drive near Titusville, River Road in Upper Makefield, and low points on Route 32, forecasters said.
