July 10, 2020 Friday Flooding

It was not a fun filled Friday yesterday for many.

Yesterday evening two lines of severe thunderstorms passed through Allegheny County resulting in numerous flooding reports.

I haven’t found any first hand videos yet on local news or Youtube. Below are the rainfall totals and the rainfall animation showing the movement of the thunderstorms. Results indicate roughly two inches of rainfall about two hours in the worst hit areas. Areas receiving the most rainfall were in the northern Allegheny River shore communities of O’Hara, Millvale, and Sharpsburg and in the South Hills. This aligns well and confirms the flood reports above.
