“Anybody traveling to Millersville, Southbound city limits is shut down due to water on the roadways.  Louisville Hwy in completely shut down. We have swift water operations going on Bellar Drive and Louisville Hwy south of City Hall. Basically, anything around the creeks is under water and we are asking for everyone to stay off the roads, said Millersville Fire Chief Brandon Head.

“If they need to call for service or need help getting out of their homes or need to move to higher ground, call 911 and report the address and tell us how many people are in the home and they will be put on the list to be evacuated. Currently, the rain has stopped and the creeks are receding. There are some improvements but we’re still having to evacuate a few people right now so if they don’t need to be on the roads, we are asking that they stay off the roads because it is causing issues.

The trailer park, the KOA Campgrounds… we have had to evacuate numerous people there. We have people trying to hook up their campers in waist deep water. We have evacuated everyone that was in distress at the campground.
