UPDATE 1:24 p.m.:

The mayor of Bentleyville has declared a state of emergency due to flooding.

UPDATE 12:38 a.m.:

Allegheny County Emergency Services put an update on flooding across the county:

While the worst of the storms are past, flooding locally from streams, creeks and backed up storm drainage will continue to increase road closures and potential flooding damages.

Area rivers continue to rise and are not expected to crest (at or near flood stage) until mid-morning Thursday. As the rivers continue to rise, the streams and creeks leading to the rivers will begin to back up and add more area flooding to low lying areas countywide. Additional road closures, flooding and landslides are expected into, at least, Friday morning.

Allegheny County Emergency Services reminds all drivers: turn around, don’t drown. Please plan and limit travel through the end of the week on area roads. Stay clear of streams, creeks and rivers as they are all flowing high and fast. Swiftwater/Flood response teams countywide continue to monitor and respond to swift water and flood emergencies.

Residents and businesses are reminded to monitor their buildings and properties for water and flooding impacts. Maintain roof drains, downspouts and storm drains to keep them flowing clear of debris and limit flooding when safely possible. Continue to monitor and maintain basement drainage pumps if you have them.

Public safety agencies including 9-1-1, emergency management and local police, fire and emergency medical agencies are working very hard 24/7 to help keep everyone safe during these weather events. Stay prepared to help prevent emergencies.

Be sure to monitor changing weather and flooding conditions, as conditions are changing rapidly. As always call 9-1-1 for all emergencies.
