6ABC Action News’ Ali Gorman reported from Conshohocken today. Part of the report was an interview with Tyler James, the 17-year-old who is all over social media riding a skimboard in the floodwaters (over 70,000 have watched MoreThanTheCurve.com video of it on TikTok).

In the interview, James states, “I was trying to make it to the shore but couldn’t, so I was like I’ll just shred the Schuylkill.”

Gorman then interviews a physician who advises against entering floodwaters.
