The last hoorah of Hurricane Ida swept through the Brandywine Valley Wednesday night, flooding the Brandywine Creek and making it look and run more like a river than a creek. Chadds Ford Village flooded as it hadn’t flooded in years and even the recently redone Route 926 Bridge had to be shut down because the approach from the Birmingham Township side flooded.
Ace Hardware in Pocopson Township has two feet of water in the store and there was one unconfirmed report that employees at the Brandywine River Museum of Art were temporarily stranded, and the ground level there flooded.
Chadds Ford Township Fire Marshal Phil Wenrich said emergency responders made three house rescues and two car rescues because of the storm and that there have been reports of missing cars.
Here are just a few of the images.
