The hard work of cleaning up from last night's flash flood is going on all over West Butler at this hour. FEMA and city officials will hold a news conference this afternoon to discuss the disaster.

The National Weather Service estimates that 3 inches of rain fell in 90 minutes last night — what's called “a 100- to 200-year occurrence.” That caused widespread flooding and trapped people in their homes and cars late Wednesday night.The Butler chapter of the American Red Cross has set up a reception center at the fire station on North Washington Street to assist displaced residents in need of temporary shelter.
