TURTLE CREEK, Pa. —
"We are trying to weather the storm. We have a dog and we are not planning on leaving, " said Turtle Creek resident Larry Washington.
Washington is just one of dozens of Larimer Ave. residents still drying out after their homes and cars were flooded by drenching downpours.
While many residents have returned to their homes, others are staying at a nearby shelter or with family and friends. The evacuation shelter at East Allegheny High School will be reopened at 7 p.m. Friday for residents that need a place to stay.
