The storm, if even I can properly regard it as such, was mild here.

I read that they are thinking that tornado-force winds hit Wilkinsburg. The last time (that I can recall) a tornado hitting Pittsburgh was some years back when Mount Washington got hit with one.

Up the Allegheny River / Route 28 corridor things got rough. Likewise, storms hit hard in Fayette County. Your report of the trampoline blowing up over the rooftops is startling. I hope everything gets back to normal in your area soon.
