I spoke to RSR earlier, he was saying how bad the storms were there. I said that I 'knew what he meant' we'd had some wicked weather here last week.

I guess he wins?

PITTSBURGH (AP) — A pair of storms that pounded Pittsburgh on Friday cut electricity to hospitals and universities and submerged more than a dozen vehicles in a flash flood that killed a woman and two children and left another person missing and presumed dead.


Officials said drivers were overwhelmed as water rose up to 9 feet in some places along Washington Boulevard, a main road that parallels the Allegheny River in the city's Highland Park section.


Rescue crews used inflatable boats to reach marooned drivers, though some swam to safety on their own. Rhodearland "Bob" Bailey of Penn Hills, who is about 80, was rescued from the roof of his car...

Global Warming strikes again-- The Earth is fighting back against cars and forcing us into rowboats.

Climate change, people, not global warming. Whether that's it or not, the weather is truly screwed up in the last few years in the US.


Sucks to be those people in Pittsburgh, though. That's really gonna screw up the flyfishing.

Yup. Our back porch flooded twice in a few days. The water almost came into our dining room, living room, etc. It's weird to watch the water just coming in the door and there isn't a thing you can do to stop it.

My husband spent yesterday digging up drainage pipes. Kinda manly. :)
