Rains flood Crawford County in northwest Pennsylvania
MEADVILLE – Crawford County officials in northwest Pennsylvania said weekend rains flooded roads and some homes and shut down part of a state bridge.
Public safety workers and road crews spent the day Sunday responding to flood-related calls. Emergency officials said by the evening almost every one of the 51 municipalities in the county had some flooding.
High water forced residents in four homes in the Conneaut Lake area to find a temporary place to stay and closed part of the bridge on Pennsylvania Route 285.
The National Weather Service issued a flood warning for small streams in the county, and motorists were advised to drive with caution.
The areas hardest hit included Jamestown, Hartstown, Conneaut Lake, Vernon, Meadville, West Mead, Oil Creek, and Titusville.
