BE HITTING THE 80S ONCE AGAIN. THANKS, MIKE. AND WE’RE GETTING REPORTS OF DOWNED TREES AND WIRES THROUGHOUT SEVERAL SOUTHERN COUNTY COMMUNITIES, LIKE HERE IN 84 IN WASHINGTON COUNTY. ELMER AND DONNA JACKSON HEARD THE STORM MOVING THROUGH, AND WHEN IT WAS OVER, THEY LOOKED OUT THE BACK WINDOW AND SAW SEVERAL TREES JUST FLATTENED AND PART OF THEIR BACK DECK GONE OUT, BE SITTING THERE WATCHING TV. AND THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW, MY WIFE SAYS, GET IN THE BASEMENT. AND I LOOK OUT THE WINDOW. YOU SEE THIS BIG WALL OF WATER. NEXT THING. NO, THE TREES ARE I MEAN, THEY WERE LIKE SIDEWAYS. ELMER SAYS IT LOOKED LIKE STRAIGHT LINE DAMAGE TO HIM BECAUSE ALL OF THE TREES WERE PUSHED IN THE SAME DIRECTION. HE SAYS HE PLANTED THOSE TREES HIMSELF WHEN HE BUILT THEIR HOUSE 20 YEARS AGO. AND A VIEWER SHARED THIS VIDEO OF DAMAGE FROM THE WASHINGTON COUNTY AREA AS WELL. YOU CAN SEE THE DEBRIS AND DOWNED TREES. THIS IS NEAR THE BENTLEYVILLE COAL CENTER DAISY TOWN AREA. SEVERAL ROADS ARE CLOSED THROUGHOUT THAT AREA AND RIGHT NOW, WEST PENN POWER REPORTS MORE THAN 17,000 POWER OUTAGES ACROSS WASHINGTON COUNTY AND MORE THAN 25,000 OUTAGES IN FAYETTE COUNTY.
