KITTS HUMMOCK, Del. — Delaware officials say evacuations are in progress in flooded coastal communities.
Allen Metheny, assistant director of emergency management in Kent County, says rescuers are evacuating as many of the coastal communities as they can. High tides and heavy rains have flooded roads, requiring the assistance of the Delaware National Guard and the Delaware State Police in the evacuation operation.
Metheny says the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control is also providing assistance.
