A quick moving storm flooded roadways, knocked down trees and possibly caused a building fire in Bristol Twp.

The sky turned a dark, menacing grey and little raindrops started to fall about 3:15 PM . These raindrops gave way to a torrential downpour that caused a motorist to get stuck on Station Avenue, under the bridge. He was not trapped in his vehicle, he just wanted to wait until the flood waters receded. Emergency personnel convinced him to vacate the car.
