State Of Emergency Declared In Flooded Pennsylvania Town

A state of emergency has been declared and a nightly curfew instituted in Connellsville, where severe flooding from Sunday night’s storms has caused widespread damage to homes, vehicles and streets. Safety, power outages, looting and impassable roads were cited by the City Council as reasons why the curfew is necessary. It will be in effect from 7 p.m. to 7:30 a.m. for all streets north of Route 119, from the memorial bridge to the city line at North Pittsburgh Street Extension.
Classes in the Connellsville Area School District are canceled for Tuesday and Wednesday.
