YORK, Pa. — One day after the remnants of Hurricane Ida moved through the region, Central Pennsylvania is still feeling the effects and cleaning up.

The storm brought heavy rains and flash floods to much of the area, causing road closures and power outages in several counties.

While the rain is over and flood waters are receding, the effects of the storm should be felt across the region for the rest of the day.

Here is some of what our crews are seeing as the day unfolds:

In Lancaster County:

Tough to hear but that’s because the water from the Conestoga River is moving fast and rising. Be safe everyone. @FOX43

Cars gridlocked along US-222, the other lanes have some stragglers and cars turning around. This is due to FLOODING on US-222.

Right now we’re trying to make our way closer to the scene of the flooding. Stay with @FOX43 for updates! @FOX43Traffic pic.twitter.com/sIyf3u384E
