New Kensington
Some roads were impassable in the New Kensington area Friday, including Fifth Avenue. Trees and wires were hanging down in several spots.
“There was sparks shooting over onto my porch, so we’re all trying to stay in but peek out because all of our vehicles were right here because we hear cracking,” Stephanie Sturgill said.

Upper St. Clair
Fire officials in Upper St. Clair urged people to remember to not drive through high water. What looked like a puddle on the road turned out to be a hole 5-feet deep!
That puddle of water in the roadway turned out to be a 5’ crater when the hole was pumped out.
Use caution driving through and around water main breaks before emergency personnel arrive on scene.
