Girty's Run began causing flooding in Millvale before 9 a.m., eventually covering several streets and leaving mud and flooded homes and vehicles as the water receded. Some of the same area was flooded Sunday after a downpour that forced Girty's Run over its banks.

The Red Cross said it had arranged for shelters to open at the Millvale Recreation Center on Lincoln Avenue, as well as at Hilltop Hall on Harper Drive in Turtle Creek, in case anyone is displaced by flooding.

New damage reports, including to some major highways, continued to come in as the storms rolled through the region, some from the morning storm and some from the second round.
