Powerful winds are hitting the Pittsburgh area on Friday night, causing widespread damage and power outages.

Most of southwestern Pennsylvania is under a high wind warning until midnight on Saturday, with the National Weather Service saying wind gusts of up to 65 mph are possible. 

KDKA crews have seen damage across Allegheny County, including trees on homes in Pittsburgh and Green Tree Borough. However, Allegheny County was not the only area to take a hit, as damage reports were pervasive across the region. 

Authorities advise people to avoid unnecessary travel.

“Staying off the roads helps emergency crews and power companies do their work safely and efficiently,” the Allegheny County Police Department posted to Facebook.

Here are some of the photos of the wind damage from Friday night.
