Anyone know if debm55 is okay? Huge storms, 4 dead, power out for over 430,000 in Pittsburgh area

[Wicked Blue]

The storms hit Tuesday afternoon, with wind gusts 80 to 90 mph.

My family member who lives near there said schools were closed, power lines down, fallen trees everywhere and roads blocked going into the city. They had roof damage and the kids' trampoline flew up and over two houses.

3. Perhaps John McKusick knows how to contact her. She helped stay in contact for us when he was in the hospital.

7. Thank you Wicked Blue for asking. We had the siren go off on our cell phones. Telling us to stay away from windows and

if possible to go to the basement. I was watching the news and some areas had winds up to 90 mph. It is a mess . Most damage was done to the eastern and central parts of Allegheny County. and in Westmoreland County. Thank you all my family of friends and to you Wicked Blue for your love and concern.It is a mess in the areas it hit.

We'll be hoping you and yours avoid the major damage and those not so fortunate do get help.
