A woman and her dog had to be rescued as flood waters began to rise in her home.
Crews said the fast-moving flood waters had her trapped in the home and caused the water to flow into her house up to her ankles.
Both are okay as of this morning.
Meanwhile, also in Westmoreland County, the Red Cross is assisting more than 50 homes that were displaced by flash flooding in Latrobe.
Those residents are being provided shelter at the Lloydsville Volunteer Fire Department located on Dickens Street.
