In West Whitehall Township, police said they made 16 water rescues where rescuers had to pull drivers from vehicles that were stranded in high water. Drivers had to really slow down as water went gushing over a wall and onto the road at the Exton Train Station next to Rt. 30 and Rt. 100.The water has receded in most places, but some roads might still be closed Wednesday morning as officials work to remove barricades.
