UPDATE: No Major Flooding Issues in Upper St. Clair

One mudslide reported on Orr Road.

It's over. The flash flood warning? Done. Tornado watch? Not an issue.

But, a flood warning remains in effect until 6:45 p.m., according to the National Weather Service.

"Flooding continues in many areas of Allegheny County, especially ... but not limited to ... the northeastern part of Allegheny County," the weather service said in a statement issued at noon. "Flooding continues in the Etna and Millvale areas, as well as the Oakmont and Ross and Shaler township areas."

The public works crews cleaned up a mudslide on Orr Road Monday morning -- it did not affect the traffic lanes. Crews also had to clean up a couple toppled trees -- no damage was reported.

Kostelich said the public works team had been cleaning storm inlets, creeks and storm drains -- and that all their work paid off today.
