IVAN THE TERRIBLE - The remnants of Hurricane Ivan slammed into Butler County on Sept. 17, dumping 7 inches of rain in a 24-hour period. Homes and businesses throughout the region were flooded by the rising, rushing water. Particularly hard hit was the southwestern part of the county where these homes in Harmony were inundated after the Connoquenessing Creek poured over its banks. After the water receded, hundreds of county residents were homeless and businesses ruined and damage estimates rose into the millions.
