The worker and a colleague were cleaning an 11-foot sewer pipe when rising water trapped them and carried them through the system. Firefighters rescued one worker about 200 feet from the entry point; he was taken to Endeavor Health Good Samaritan Hospital and is expected to recover. The second worker remains missing. Search operations were suspended Monday night due to dangerous water conditions, and the Fire Department has transitioned from rescue to recovery. The search will resume when water levels become safe. The pipe was built in the 1960s and was being repaired. The storm also caused flooding, downed trees, and power outages affecting over 5,000 customers.
