Children had to be rescued from a flooded school bus in Pennsylvania and a tornado severely damaged at least 100 homes in Maryland as the remnants of Hurricane Ida moved northeast through the mid-Atlantic on Wednesday. At 5pm ET, the post-tropical cyclone was about 30 miles south of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, which had one of the wettest days on record Wednesday with 5.6 inches of rain. A similar scene played out in western Maryland, where 10 students and a driver had to be rescued from a school bus that was overtaken by flooding on Wednesday afternoon, FOX 5 DC reports. Near Pittsburgh, the Cherry City Volunteer Fire Company rescued 41 passengers from a school bus that got stuck on a flooded road Wednesday morning. In Johnstown, about 100 miles west of Harrisburg, emergency officials had to evacuate about 3,000 people below a dam to ensure the safety of downstream residents.
