UPDATE: WATCH LIVE: Officials are providing updates on Saturday's flood in Bucks County that left 5 people dead and 2 children missing.
"First, our family would like to extend our deepest gratitude for the enormous efforts of so many emergency personnel who have been working tirelessly in dangerous and difficult conditions to rescue the victims of this horrific tragedy," he said."Their compassion, kindness, and bravery have given us strength in this unspeakably difficult time. And their commitment to bringing Conrad and Maddie home is unwavering.
Brewer said that the search will continue with air and underwater units that were unavailable due to weather yesterday. Officials said over the weekend that the children belong to a family -- now identified as the Sheils -- that was visiting the area from South Carolina that was caught in the storm. The father, Jack Sheils, managed to get their 4-year-old son -- whose identity was not provided by officials -- out of the vehicle and they escaped the floodwaters.
