At approximately 10:00 p.m., city officials responded to flooding near Galena Manor at Clinton Drive, where standing water covered the entrance to the neighborhood.

According to city officials, flooding in the area is an ongoing issue due to drainage limitations, although improvements are already planned to address the problem.
