Flooding from Wednesday night's storms created a busy night for emergency services and impacted at least one school Thursday morning.

Butler Area School District Assistant Superintendent Brian Slamecka sent an announcement through the district's alert system.

“Due to roads being closed to flooding, some buses will be running approximately 15 minutes behind schedule this morning,” said Slamecka in the alert.

Following a storm that swept through the county, emergency services were called many times to assist with flooding, downed wires and alarms, in addition to regular calls.

Starting around 4 p.m. Wednesday until about 1 a.m. Thursday, there were 57 dispatches from Butler County 911, according to the county's records.

Of those calls, 27 were for flooding and nine were for downed wires. Also of those calls, the Unionville Volunteer Fire Department was called 14 times.

Unionville Assistant Fire Chief Nathan Wulff said he saw widespread flooding throughout his department's coverage area in Center Township. He said two points seemed the most serious, one on Glenwood Way and the other on Oneida Valley Road.

“It looked like a raging river going across it,” Wulff said.

Butler County has no active weather alerts, according to the National Weather Service, but there is more rain in the forecast.

There is a 50% chance of rain or thunderstorms in each of Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday's forecasts; although, estimates for rainfall amounts are for “less than a tenth of an inch.”

Chances of rain and thunderstorms are expected Tuesday and Wednesday, but the likelihood for those storms is 40% and 30%, respectively.
