Heavy Rains

8/7/2018 (Permalink)

In recent area June and July rains and storms left one area with an estimated 126 homes and 48 businesses affected by it in some way. People living in the area have said they have lived here their entire lives and have not seen anything like it.  Who would think that living in Robinson, McKees Rocks, Stowe, Neville Island, Moon, West View, Leetsdale, Kennedy Township, Imperial, Ingram, Crafton, and Carnegie, and other airport area locales would bring these sorts of storm systems? When we hear about landslides, we think California--not Pittsburgh.  Do what you can to prepare for emergencies in advance.  Select an agreed upon spot to meet, have a smoke detector and regularly check the batteries, have some bottled water and portable foods, and don't forget to think about the pets, and have a plan for them as well.
