Frankenstorm has gobbled up Trick-or-Treat for most South Hills communities. The high winds, heavy rain and potential flooding from the remnants of Hurricane Sandy have forced nearly every town to reschedule its Trick-or-Treat times.

Despite heavy rain from Superstorm Sandy that pounded western Pennsylvania overnight, the Chartiers Creek is holding its banks and causing “no problems.” Heidelberg and Carnegie, both of which sustained heavy flooding when the remnants of Hurricane Ivan rolled through in 2004, reported no rising waters or damage. “No problems, no issues,” Heidelberg Borough Manager Joe Kauer said. “It’s actually kind of cresting. I was taken back by that.” Water gauges placed along the Chartiers Creek near Heidelberg showed the water cresting just above 5 feet around 6 a.m. Tuesday. However, the flood stage for that area of the creek is 20 feet. The creek is noticeably higher than the summer when near drought conditions dried some areas to it sandy bed. …

Heavy rains Sunday afternoon brought flooding, submerging cars and nearly flooding structures.
Heavy rains Sunday afternoon brought high waters to several western Pennsylvania communities, submerging cars and nearly flooding structures. The Chartiers Creek began overflowing its banks around 5 p.m. Sunday and reached a few roads in the East Carnegie neighborhood that straddles Scott Township and Pittsburgh. The water apparently submerged several cars along Idlewood Avenue in the city, although no injuries were reported. East Carnegie Volunteer Fire Department Lt. Walt Maust said that his station along Duncan Avenue was nearly flooded. But the water receded just as quickly as it came. “It came up pretty fast,” he said “but it went down just as fast.” Maust said he did not know of any structures being affected by the water, except for …
