Severe storms that stretched from Texas to New York on Tuesday have left at least three people dead in Pennsylvania.
Pittsburgh Public Safety announced that a man was electrocuted by live wires in the South Side Slopes area of the city, and he was pronounced dead at the scene. In a news conference on Wednesday, Pittsburgh Mayor Ed Gainey extended condolences to the victim's family and held a moment of silence.
In State College, police said a 22-year-old man was electrocuted while trying to put out a mulch fire started by downed power lines. Just outside Pittsburgh in Ross Township, a 67-year-old man was killed by a fallen tree, the Associated Press reported.
The storms caused widespread damage across the Pittsburgh area, with the city’s 911 system experiencing a temporary outage. Allegheny County reported more than 5,000 calls per hour to its regional 911 centers as the storms brought down trees and power lines. The Pittsburgh Public Safety Department said the 911 system was fully restored by early Wednesday....
