\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPITTSBURGH\u2019S ACTION NEWS FOUR AT FOUR STARTS NOW. THANK YOU FOR JOINING US FOR THIS. 4:00 ON THIS SAINT PATRICK\u2019S DAY. I\u2019M ANDREW STOCKEY AND I\u2019M KELLY SASSO. HERE\u2019S A LOOK AT YOUR TOP FOUR STORIES AT 4:00. BOY, THE LUCK OF THE IRISH IS NOT ON OUR SIDE TODAY. WINTER WEATHER CONTINUES ACROSS THE AREA. WE ARE EXPECTING MORE SCATTERED SNOW TONIGHT, BUT WE CAN LOOK FORWARD TO THE END OF THE WEEK WHEN WE WILL THANKFULLY SEE A WARM UP. THE FIREBALL IN THE SKY. MANY OF YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THIS THROUGHOUT THE DAY. IT WAS SEEN ACROSS WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA AND NORTHEAST OHIO. NASA SAYS THIS AFTERNOON IT WAS A METEOR. WOW. TODAY WAS SENTENCING DAY FOR THE MAN. POLICE SAY BEAT ANOTHER MAN LAST YEAR AT A VFW IN ALIQUIPPA. THE JUDGE SENTENCED BRETT HOURS THE PITTSBURGH ZOO AND AQUARIUM IS LOOKING INTO BUILDING A STANDALONE AQUARIUM. THE PENNSYLVANIA AQUARIUM WOULD BE THE FIRST MAJOR ATTRACTION CONSTRUCTED ON THE NORTH SHORE SINCE PNC PARK. RIGHT NOW, THINGS LIKE FUNDING ALONG WITH ECONOMIC AND LONG-TERM COMMUNITY IMPACTS ARE BEING WEIGHED. THOSE ARE YOUR TOP STORIES AT 4:00 ON THIS TUESDAY AFTERNOON. TIME NOW FOR MORE PITTSBURGH\u2019S ACTION. METEOROLOGIST BRIAN JUNIOR IS HERE WITH A LOOK AT THE CERTIFIED MOST ACCURATE FORECAST. MORE SNOW, YOU SAY, BUT WE\u2019RE GETTING TO THE END OF IT. YOU SAW AN ACTION CAM KIND OF ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE DOWNTOWN. YOU SAW THE SNOW WAS STILL FALLING. WE\u2019RE SEEING SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS AND WE STILL HAVE A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY UP FOR THE I-80 CORRIDOR AND THE LAUREL HIGHLANDS. BUT THIS ENDS AT THE TOP OF THE NEXT HOUR. SO ONLY ABOUT 59 MINUTES TO GO BEFORE THIS COMES TO AN END. THERE ARE STILL SOME SNOW SHOWERS OUT THERE. THEY COULD BRIEFLY REDUCE VISIBILITY ACROSS WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA, BUT THESE WILL TAPER OFF AS WE GET PAST SUNSET. WE\u2019RE NOT EXPECTING MUCH IN THE WAY OF ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATION, BUT STILL SOME SNOW AND SOME BURSTS OF SNOW POSSIBLE FOR ABOUT ANOTHER COUPLE OF HOURS AS WE GET PAST SUNSET. OUR SNOW WILL TAPER OFF. WE\u2019LL ACTUALLY CLEAR OUT THE CLOUDS BRIEFLY FOR THE FIRST PART OF THE NIGHT. THAT LETS OUR TEMPERATURES PLUMMET BEFORE CLOUDS BUILD BACK IN. AS WE HEAD TOWARD SUNRISE TOMORROW. TEMPERATURES TO START THE DAY, BUT IT\u2019S GOING TO BE ANOTHER COLD ONE AS WE HEAD INTO TOMORROW. HIGH TEMPERATURES, THOUGH, WILL BREAK FREEZING AS WE HEAD. AS WE MOVE INTO THE DAY TOMORROW. WE\u2019RE HEADING BACK TO THE 60S THIS WEEKEND. WATCH A COUPLE RAIN CHANCES AS WELL. RAIN, NOT SNOW. WE\u2019LL TALK MORE ABOUT THAT. 4-DAY PLUS 4 MORE. WE CAN HANDLE THAT. THAT\u2019S THE POINT IN THE SEASON I THINK THAT WE\u2019RE IN RIGHT NOW. YES. WE\u2019RE HOPING. OKAY. BUT BEFORE WE LET YOU GO, WE WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THIS PHENOMENON IN THE SKIES THIS MORNING, A MYSTERIOUS FIREBALL WAS REPORTED AT ABOUT 9 A.M. THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GOT IN ON THE CONVERSATION, TOO. YEAH, IN FACT, MANY PEOPLE SAW IT, RIGHT? WE\u2019VE SEEN VIDEO KIND OF POURING IN OVER A PRETTY WIDE AREA. WE\u2019VE BEEN RECEIVING VIDEOS THROUGHOUT THE DAY, IN FACT, THIS VIDEO FROM ONE OF THE METEOROLOGISTS AT THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PITTSBURGH OFFICE WAS CAPTURED JUST BEFORE 9:00 THIS MORNING. SATELLITE DATA AND LIGHTNING MAPPING TECHNOLOGY HELPED TO CONFIRM THE EVENT. HERE\u2019S ANOTHER VIDEO THAT\u2019S BEEN GOING AROUND TODAY AS WELL. THIS IS DASH CAM VIDEO FROM MERCER COUNTY. IT\u2019S A LITTLE SMALLER IN THE VIDEO, BUT IT\u2019S VISIBLE A LITTLE LONGER HERE. AND THEN MORE VIDEO THIS TIME FROM OHIO, THE OLMSTED FALLS SCHOOL DISTRICT CAPTURED THIS VIDEO THIS MORNING. YOU CAN SEE IT COMING UP FROM THE TOP OF THAT CAMERA SHOT. NASA ALSO BACKED UP THE SIGHTING, SAYING A METEOR WAS SPOTTED ABOVE NEARBY MEDINA, OHIO, AROUND 9:00 THIS MORNING. AND AGAIN, THEY CONFIRMED NASA DOES THAT IT WAS A METEOR, WAS ABOUT SIX FEET IN DIAMETER. IT EXPLODED INTO SEVERAL METEORITES OVER NORTHEAST OHIO. AND THAT\u2019S THE SOUND THAT PEOPLE HEARD WAS MOSTLY CONFINED TO NORTHEAST OHIO. AND THAT LIGHT SHOWS THAT METEOR WAS TRAVELING AT ABOUT 45,000 MILES AN HOUR. WOW. NOW, YOU MENTIONED AT ONE POINT EVERYTHING IN THE SKIES WAS CALLED METEOR. THAT\u2019S NOT THE CASE ANYMORE NOW. SO YEAH, METEOR IS BASICALLY A CHUNK OF ROCK THAT ENTERS EARTH\u2019S ATMOSPHERE. YEAH. ARISTOTLE CALLED EVERYTHING IN THE SKY METEOR. THAT INCLUDES RAINDROPS AND SNOWFLAKES, WHICH IS WHY WE\u2019RE CALLED METEOROLOGISTS IS WHERE THAT COMES FROM. WE DON\u2019T STUDY METEORS ANYMORE, BUT A METEOR IS A CHUNK OF ROCK THAT IS MOVING THE ATMOSPHERE. METEORITE IS A METEOR THAT EXPLODES, AND THOSE PIECES CAN MAKE IT TO THE GROUND. DO YOU SORT OF FEEL LIKE THIS MORNING, IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE THAT COULD HAPPEN? WE HAD 60 DEGREES RAIN, WIND, SNOW AND NOW METEORS FALLING FROM THE SKY. YOU KNOW, I HAVE TO SAY, I REALLY THINK THIS IS ALL CHIEF METEOROLOGIST MIKE HARVEY FAULT BECAUSE ANYTIME HE DISAPPEARS, THE WEATHER GETS WEIRD HERE. SO I WANT HIS CRYSTAL BALL BECAUSE THE WEATHER HAS BEEN WEIRD SINCE HE\u2019S BEEN AWAY. DOING MORE IS NOT ON THE WAY. YEAH, FOR NOW IT LOOKS LIKE WE\u2019LL BE OKAY, BUT IT\u2019S WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA. ANYTHING? IS TRUE. CALM SKIES. ALL RIGHT. THANKS SO MUCH FOR THAT INSIGHT. VERY INTERESTING. BY THE WAY, YOU CAN READ MORE ABOUT TODAY\u2019S SIGHTING OR SEND US YOUR VIDEOS OF IT IF YOU HAVE THEM. JUST HEAD TO OUR WEBSITE WTAE.COM FOR ALL THE INFORMATION. ALL RIGHT. WELL, THE PROCESS DOES CONTINUE TO GET POWER RESTORED FROM FRIDAY\u2019S STORM AT LAST CHECK. DUQUESNE LIGHT IS STILL REPORTING OVER 3400 OUTAGES ACROSS ALLEGHENY AND BEAVER COUNTIES AND WEST PENN POWER REPORTING ABOUT 2300 OUTAGES ACROSS SEVERAL COUNTIES IN SOUTHWESTERN PENNSYLVANIA. RESTORATION WAS ALREADY DELAYED ONCE BECAUSE OF MORE WIND OVER THE COURSE OF THE WEEKEND. AND NOW, WITH THIS NEW BLAST OF WINTRY WEATHER, THE FRUSTRATIONS, OF COURSE, ARE GETTING WORSE. PITTSBURGH\u2019S ACTION NEWS FOUR REPORTER KALEA GUNDERSON IS COVERING ALLEGHENY COUNTY FOR US THIS AFTERNOON. SHE\u2019S JOINING US LIVE NOW IN WHITEHALL, WHERE SOME NEIGHBORS OUT THERE ARE STILL IN THE DARK. HAYLEY. RIGHT. KELLY. ANDREW. WE\u2019VE BEEN CHECKING IN WITH SEVERAL AREAS OF THE SOUTH HILLS TODAY. BUT LIKE YOU SAID HERE IN WHITEHALL, SOME POCKETS STILL WITHOUT POWER. AND WE\u2019RE SEEING SEVERAL STREETS. WHOLE STREETS OF INDIVIDUAL HOMES THAT ARE NOW INTO DAY FOUR WITHOUT POWER. BUT AS YOU SAID HERE IN WHITEHALL, THE PROVIDER DUQUESNE HEIGHTS TELLS US THAT CREWS EFFORTS WERE SLOWED LAST NIGHT DUE TO ROAD CONDITIONS BECAUSE THEY DON\u2019T ALLOW THEIR CREWS TO RESPOND WHEN ROADS ARE NOT CONSIDERED SAFE. THE MAJORITY OF OUTAGES, THOUGH, ACROSS THE COUNTY WERE FIXED YESTERDAY MORNING, BUT ACCORDING TO THE COMPANY, SOME REPAIRS IMPACTING SINGLE HOMES, LIKE I SAID, OR SMALLER GROUPS, SMALLER STREETS, VERY SPECIFIC DAMAGE. THOSE ARE STILL IN THE WORKS. NATHAN KESSLER IN WHITEHALL SAYS HE HIS HOME IS ONE OF THE FEW ON HIS STREET THAT IS STILL AWAITING POWER TO COME BACK ON 730 ON FRIDAY WENT OUT. WE REPORTED THE OUTAGE AND EVERYTHING. SATURDAY EVENING THEY CAME OUT AND REMOVED THE TREE AND EVERYTHING FROM THE LINE. AND THEN SINCE THEN, IT\u2019S JUST BEEN HARD TO GET A RESPONSE BACK FROM ANYBODY. WE\u2019VE BEEN TRACKING THE MAP. WE\u2019VE BEEN, YOU KNOW, GOING, GOING ON AND LOOKING AT SEEING THAT LIKE CREW IS COMING AND THEN IT\u2019LL GO BACK TO WAITING. DISPATCH. AND FOR KESSLER STREET, DUQUESNE HEIGHTS TELLS ME A CONTRACTOR WAS ASSIGNED TO HIS STREET WITHIN THE LAST HOUR, BUT IT\u2019S STILL UNCLEAR HOW SOON WE COULD SEE THOSE REPAIRS MADE. AND I\u2019M TOLD A LOT GOES INTO DETERMINING HOW QUICKLY A CREW GETS OUT ONCE IT IS ASSIGNED. KELLY. ANDREW. YEAH. I MEAN, KAYLEE, ESPECIALLY WITH THIS WEATHER, YOU JUST REALLY FEEL FOR THOSE FOLKS. WAS ANYONE FROM THE POWER COMPANY ABLE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT WHAT ELEMENTS PLAY A ROLE IN THEIR RESPONSE TIME? YEAH. THEY SAID EVERY CASE IS DIFFERENT, BUT IT OFTEN DEPENDS HOW FAR AWAY THE CREW THAT\u2019S DISPATCHED TO YOUR STREET IS COMING FROM, AND IF THEY HAVE TO STOP ON THEIR WAY THERE TO PICK UP ANY MATERIALS NEEDED TO MAKE THOSE REPAIRS. MUCH MORE, THOUGH, ON COMMUNITIES AND WHAT THEY\u2019RE FACING HERE IN THE SOUTH HILLS. COMING UP TONIGHT AT 5:00, COVERING ALLEGHENY COUNTY AND WHITEHALL. KALEA GUNDERSON PITTSBURGH\u2019S ACTION NEWS FOUR. KELLY, THANK YOU. COVERING BEAVER COUNTY NOW. IT\u2019S SENTENCING DAY FOR BRETT HOURS. HE WAS CONVICTED OF SEVERELY BEATING ANOTHER MAN LAST YEAR AT A VFW POST IN ALIQUIPPA. HOURS WAS FOUND GUILTY IN JANUARY OF AGGRAVATED ASSAULT, STRANGULATION, ASSAULT WITH A DEADLY WEAPON AND BEING PRESTON COLEMAN. HE WAS SENTENCED TO 16 TO 32 YEARS BEHIND BARS. TWO OTHER PEOPLE WERE ALSO CHARGED IN THIS CASE, RONALD BROWN WAS SENTENCED TO 3 TO 6 YEARS BEHIND BARS FOR HIS ROLE IN THE ATTACK. IRELAND BROWN IS AWAITING TRIAL, COVERING ALLEGHENY COUNTY. FIREFIGHTERS BATTLED THE COLD AND THE SNOW AT A HOUSE FIRE TODAY IN MCCANDLESS. FIRST CALL FOR THIS CAME IN JUST AFTER NOON AT HEDWIG DRIVE, SKY 4 HERE, CAPTURING FIREFIGHTERS FOCUSING ON THE AREA OF THE CHIMNEY. WE\u2019RE WORKING TO LEARN IF ANYONE WAS HURT. NO CAUSE HAS BEEN DETERMINED YET. I WANT TO TURN NOW TO THE MAJOR HEADS UP FOR ANY PATIENTS OF UPMC. THEY ARE ALERTING PEOPLE THAT THEIR PERSONAL INFORMATION MAY HAVE BEEN WRONGFULLY ACCESSED. IT INVOLVES A THIRD PARTY NETWORK USED TO EXCHANGE MEDICAL INFORMATION. PITTSBURGH\u2019S ACTION NEWS FOUR REPORTER MARCIE CIPRIANI JOINS US LIVE RIGHT NOW. AND MARCY, WHAT KIND OF INFORMATION ARE WE TALKING ABOUT HERE? WELL, ANDREW, ACCORDING TO OFFICIALS WITH UPMC, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT MEDICAL RECORDS THAT COULD INCLUDE A PATIENT\u2019S NAME, AGE, DIAGNOSIS, AND MEDICAL HISTORY. NOW, ACCORDING TO INFORMATION RELEASED BY UPMC, A HEALTH INFORMATION NETWORK MAY HAVE IMPROPERLY ACCESSED THOSE RECORDS THROUGH A NATIONAL NETWORK DESIGNED TO EXCHANGE MEDICAL INFORMATION. THEY SAY A NETWORK NAMED HEALTH GUERRILLA ELECTRONICALLY REQUESTED THE INFO, CLAIMING IT WAS PROVIDING CARE TO SHARED PATIENTS AND STATING IT HAD PERMISSION. WHILE UPMC SAYS NO SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS WERE SHARED, EXPERTS SAY WHAT WAS RELEASED IS ENOUGH TO COMPROMISE YOUR INFORMATION. ALL OF THIS MATERIAL FALLS WITHIN THE CLASS OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION, WHICH YOU DON\u2019T GENERALLY WANT TO HAVE OUT THERE, BECAUSE IT CAN BECOME THE BASIS FOR A HACKER TO IMPERSONATE YOU AND OPEN CREDIT CARDS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. SO, MARCY, DO WE KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE MAY BE IMPACTED BY THIS AND WHAT THEY CAN DO TO MAKE SURE THEIR INFORMATION IS NOT COMPROMISED? WELL, ANDREW, I DID REACH OUT TO UPMC, BUT THEY DIRECTED ME BACK TO THEIR ONLINE STATEMENT AND THEY SAY THEY ARE NOTIFYING ALL OF THE PATIENTS IMPACTED. NOW, COMING UP NEW AT 5:00, THOUGH WE DO SPEAK WITH AN EXPERT OFFERING ADVICE ON WHAT YOU CAN DO IF YOU\u2019RE CONCERNED. AND THERE ALSO IS A PHONE NUMBER THAT UPMC HAS PASSED ALONG TO PATIENTS WHO HAVE QUESTIONS. WE\u2019LL HAVE THAT ALL FOR YOU. NEW AT 5:00 COVERING ALLEGHENY COUNTY FROM MONROEVILLE. MARCIE CIPRIANI PITTSBURGH\u2019S ACTION NEWS FOUR. MARCY, WE\u2019LL SEE YOU AT 5:00. TODAY, ISRAEL CLAIMED IT TOOK OUT TWO IRANIAN LEADERS, WHICH WOULD BE A SIGNIFICANT BLOW TO THE IRANIAN REGIME HERE AT HOME. A FIRST ONE TRUMP OFFICIAL NOW RESIGNING OVER THE WAR. HE IS CONTRADICTING THE ADMINISTRATION\u2019S CLAIMS THAT IRAN POSED A THREAT TO THE U.S. HERE\u2019S ABC\u2019S OLIVIA RUBIN. TODAY, ISRAEL RELEASING THIS NEW VIDEO THEY SAY SHOWS A STRIKE ON AN IRANIAN MILITIA GROUP. ISRAEL SAYS STRIKES KILLED ONE OF IRAN\u2019S MOST POWERFUL SURVIVING LEADERS, ALI LARIJANI. VITAL TO RUNNING THE REGIME. AND GHOLAM SOLEIMANI, WHO LED THE CRACKDOWN ON ANTI-GOVERNMENT PROTESTERS. THE MAN THAT WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE KILLING OF 32,000 PEOPLE OVER THE LAST TWO WEEKS. BUT IRAN LAUNCHING SOME OF THE MOST INTENSE STRIKES SINCE THE WAR, STARTED TARGETING THE U.S. EMBASSY IN BAGHDAD LAST NIGHT. A NEW VIDEO POSTED BY ANOTHER IRANIAN MILITIA GROUP SHOWS A DRONE APPEARING TO FLY FREELY OVER THE U.S. EMBASSY COMPOUND BEFORE THE ATTACK. IRAN TODAY ALSO ATTACKING ANOTHER OIL TANKER NEAR THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ. IRAN ONLY LETTING FIVE TANKERS TO SAIL THROUGH THE STRAIT IN TO MARINE TRAFFIC DATA. NORMALLY IT\u2019S 50 EVERY DAY. PRESIDENT TRUMP TODAY BLASTING NATO ALLIES FOR REFUSING TO SEND IN REINFORCEMENTS. SOME SAY IT\u2019S JUST NOT THEIR WAR TO FIGHT, I THINK NATO IS MAKING A VERY FOOLISH MISTAKE. AND I\u2019VE LONG SAID THAT, YOU KNOW, I WONDER WHETHER OR NOT NATO WOULD EVER BE THERE FOR US. SO THIS IS A THIS WAS A GREAT TEST BECAUSE WE DON\u2019T NEED THEM, BUT THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE. BUT THE PRESIDENT TODAY LOSING HIS TOP U.S. COUNTERTERRORISM OFFICIAL, JOE KENT, RESIGNING, SAYING HE CANNOT IN GOOD CONSCIENCE SUPPORT THE WAR, CLAIMING IRAN POSED NO IMMINENT THREAT TO OUR NATION. TO HIS ROLE. IT SEEMED LIKE A PRETTY NICE GUY, BUT WHEN I READ A STATEMENT, I REALIZED THAT IT\u2019S A GOOD THING THAT HE\u2019S OUT BECAUSE HE SAID THAT IRAN WAS NOT A THREAT. THE PRESIDENT CALLING KENT WEAK ON SECURITY, AS KENT CLAIMS THAT IT WAS ISRAEL PUSHING THE UNITED STATES INTO WAR WITH I\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
