I don't know about where you are, but here in the Fox Chapel Area we got nailed with terrential downpours between 4 and 5pm. There was ponding on some streets. An old timer was trapped in his car on Washington Blvd. We need the rain, but gee whiz, not like this.

Nice little rain. There was a few fire trucks that went up into Fox Chapel a while ago. We did get hit a bit, but my garden is happy.

I live on Mt. Washington and work at Station Square and have barely seen but a few drops! It's starting to rain as I type this, but it's VERY light. I sure have heard a lot of thunder though...all afternoon.

Curry Hollow Road area in the South Hills there was barely any rain, but a few blocks up on Rt 51 near Southland Shopping Center, it was flooded so bad people had to climb up on their car roofs.

It was ferocious in the East End. My electricity went out for an hour or two.

Our power just got turned back on. When someone sneezes, it goes out for us for at least a few min. Lots more on the way looking at the radar. Hopefully flooding will be minimal.

Park Place is getting dumped on. Glad I got home in time.

Wow! It was coming down fast, but I didn't think it was all that.

Wow--stay safe everyone. And can you send a little bit of rain down our way? My grass is getting so thirsty I may have to turn the sprinklers on soon.
