WEATHER ADVISORIES HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD, AND A DOWNED POWER LINE ON A CAR TRAPPED A MAN HERE IN NORTH VERSAILLES. NOW HE DID GET OUT SAFELY AFTER DUQUESNE WORKERS DEACTIVATED THOSE LINES. HE TELLS US THIS ISN’T EVEN THE FIRST TIME TODAY THAT THE HIGH WINDS PUT HIM IN DANGER. A TREE CAME THROUGH MY ROOF, SO I HAD TO CALL THEM TO INVESTIGATE. THEY TOLD ME I COULDN’T STAY THERE, SO I CALLED MY INSURANCE AND WAS ON OUR WAY TO THE HOTEL AND WENT TO GO GRAB SOMETHING TO EAT WITH THE DOGS. AND NEXT, YOU KNOW, WE HAD A CONCERT DOWN ON MY CAR.
