[naviga:h3]Landslide destroys house, cuts power[/naviga:h3]

PITTSBURGH — Authorities say a landslide in a Pittsburgh neighborhood has worsened, destroying a home, forcing closure of a road and knocking out electricity to adjacent neighborhoods.

The city said Sunday that the Duquesne Heights landslide worsened Sunday afternoon, pouring over a retaining wall on Route 51 near the West End Bridge and closing that section of roadway.

Officials said that a house evacuated Friday evening “is now destroyed.” The city said the owners were able to retrieve essential belongings from the dwelling Saturday.

The slide, which borders the West End neighborhood, also crossed a street and knocked out utility poles, causing outages in southern and western parts of Pittsburgh.

Mayor William Peduto’s office is contacting the governor’s office and the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency for assistance.

PITTSBURGH — The Pittsburgh area has broken a monthly rainfall record that dates back to the 19th century.

The National Weather Service said Sunday that the 6.68 inches of rainfall during February at Pittsburgh International Airport breaks the old monthly record of 6.52 inches “set all the way back in 1887.”

Forecasters are predicting even more rain Sunday, as much as half an inch.

Allegheny County officials said Sunday that river levels are expected to rise throughout the day, but forecasts for river crests have been lowered. Flood watches remain in effect and an approaching cold front is expected to bring high winds.

County officials also said in a statement that there were “several more landslides overnight, but otherwise no major events to speak of.”

STATE COLLEGE — The Pennsylvania State University has announced it will start equipping on-campus officers with naloxone, an opioid overdose antidote.

Officers on its University Park Campus have been trained on how to administer the medication and how to recognize an overdose. The university said officers will start carrying the medication Friday.

Penn State police say they decided to join university paramedics in carrying the medication due to a higher demand in rural areas.
