Worst weather within 9-10 years, record-breaking rainfall from '73

[Adam]

Last night in pittsburgh, all surrounding sothwest PA, Eatern OH, WV panhandle, there were storms from about 6:30-11. Luckily, Thanks to quick thinking, and reporters saying there may be hail, i was able to save my plants. As soon as i heard, i ran outside to my neps, and brought them in, and my mom got my plants in the pond there. No plants were damaged, except some bent over milkweed. Now, i normally don't get scared by storms, but i held my ears for the thunder, it was so loud.

TENroaches, how are your plants doing?

Tornadic weather is definitely no fun. Glad you were able to save your plants though. I grew up in Harris County, (essentially NW Houston). Tornadoes were very common there, and it was almost like living in fear... I know how you feel.

Luckily, no tornadoes in my area.

I had my plants outside during it, under a glass table on the deck. My plants that were in those plastic containers from Lowe's were pretty full of water, with my butterwort floating.

I went out the morning after and took some pictures. They even said my name on the air on WTAE when they showed one of the pictures I submitted. ^_^

Our sump pump, we found out, was broken, but we had no damage, because my dad and I bucketed it out of the sump pit. Wasn't too bad. I put in a new sump pump yesterday.

It was on the 5:00 news on WTAE on the day after the storm. They showed another picture I took on the 6:00 news.
