Damaging Flooding In Western Pennsylvania After Heavy Rainfall

Heavy rains prompted the National Weather Service to issue flood watches and warnings across the western Pennsylvania area as high waters caused damage from the South Hills to Fayette County and spots in between. A Flash Flood Warning was extended until midnight for Allegheny County. Meanwhile, much of southwestern Pennsylvania, as well as parts of West Virginia and Garrett County in Maryland were under a Flash Flood Watch much of the night. There were multiple reports of flooding across the area. Allegheny County Emergency Services Asst. Chief Steve Imbarlina says there were at least 66 swift water rescues completed across the county with help from additional crews from Beaver and Washington counties.
