Along with that winter weather comes a flood watch for those near streams or in an area prone to flooding.

Channel 11's Trisha Pittman talked to some homeowners who know all to well to heed that warning.

Carnegie resident Lila Wagner said, "My little grand-daughter went to school today crying, she's ten, and she's all upset because we're going to get flooded again she thinks."

With our area under a flood watch, Carnegie residents keep an eye on the banks of the Chartiers Creek; although it is unlikely that the area will see the magnitude of rain which fell over three months ago.

Just the same, those who were hit hard the last time are prepared for the worst every time they see a storm cloud.

Kathy Drennan said, "I'm terrified. I'm afraid it's going to happen again and I don't want to see it happen again. I lost $27,000 worth of stuff and only got $2,600 back."

As people look at Chartiers Creek now, it's hard to imagine that the flood waters were up to the top of the bridge on Sept. 17.

However, for Carnegie residents it's hard to forget the reality of that day and the fear that it could possibly happen again.

Residents of Lexington Court said that even a steady, heavy rain will deposit two to three inches of water in their basements, due to structure damage suffered during the flood.

Resident Mary Sue Hillegas said, "I've got walls to repair yet in the cellar, you know, that are weakening each time I do get flooded."

Although it has been months since the flood, debris along the banks of the Chartiers Creek still remains.

Borough officials said that they have been working with the county and the Department of Environmental Protection to ensure that the area will be cleaned.

Another meeting to discuss those plans is scheduled for the end of the January.
