Old Lancaster near Brackenville
Mill creek and Nathalie Dr.
Just moments ago as above. Millcreek near Natalie Drive, Hickory Hills
I know its an old post, but there is a dead tree very close to falling on the road on Old Wilmington Rd right across from Cameron Dr. It is not a large tree but its resting on the lower utility wires and going to fall soon. I called DelDOT and they said they won't cut it down until it falls in the road. And it's likely not a concern for Delmarva since it is not on the electric lines.
*Update 11pm* All rescue incidents are under control with all vehicle occupants, residents and firefighters safe. Hockessin and assisting companies continue to respond to electrical hazard calls and fire alarms.
*Update 9:50pm* Units still working, rescues in progress at Mt. Cuba & Yorklyn.
*Update 8:25pm* Responses are slowing down, but many roads such as Snuff Mill & Brackenville will remain closed due to downed trees and flooding. Hockessin being assisted by Cranston Heights, Five Points, Mill Creek, Minquas, Elsmere, Port Penn, Delaware City, Goodwill & Townsend Fire Companies.
Hockessin currently responding to numerous calls for trees & wires down along with other incidents west of Lancaster Pike. Many roads are currently impassable and flood waters are rising. Please refrain from traveling in this area.
