MINUTES. JOE. THANK YOU. THAT SEVERE WEATHER LAST NIGHT BROUGHT HAIL, HIGH WINDS, HEAVY RAIN, AND A TORNADO TOUCHING DOWN IN THE AREA OF SOUTHERN ALLEGHENY COUNTY AND NORTHERN WASHINGTON COUNTY. LET’S GIVE YOU ANOTHER LOOK AT THAT STORM AS IT MOVED THROUGH THE FINLEYVILLE WASHINGTON COUNTY AREA. MY GOODNESS, LOOK AT THIS. ALONG TURKEY FOOT DRIVE. THE FUNNEL TAKING AIM TO WHAT WE’RE TOLD WAS A GREENHOUSE SHED IN THE AREA. THE DEBRIS WAS SENT FLYING THROUGH THE AIR. PART OF THAT SHED RAINED DOWN HERE ALONG EQUESTRIAN DRIVE IN NEARBY VENETIA. A VIEWER SHARED THIS VIDEO OF THE DEBRIS FIELD AND SOME SIDING THAT WAS RIPPED FROM ONE OF THE HOMES JUST DOWN THE STREET. THE TORNADO LIFTED A CHURCH’S ROOF, FORCING SOME 60 PEOPLE INSIDE. AT THE TIME TO SEEK SHELTER. THIS IS NEW VIDEO FROM THAT SCENE THIS MORNING WHERE YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE WRECKAGE LEFT BEHIND. THAT CAR’S WINDSHIELD SMASHED. PITTSBURGH’S ACTION NEWS FOUR REPORTER JASMINE RODRIGUEZ SPOKE TO SOME OF THE PEOPLE WHO WITNESSED THE STORM FIRSTHAND, AND MORE ON THE DAMAGE OVERNIGHT. WE WERE SITTING THERE. WE WERE SINGING A HYMN, AND THE LIGHTS STARTED FLICKERING. AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, ONE OF THE WINDOWS BLEW OUT. EVERYBODY DUCKED FOR COVER. AND THEN ONCE WE REALIZED WHAT WAS GOING ON, WE GOT EVERYBODY DOWN TO THE BASEMENT OF THE CHURCH. LINDA DE SINGE WAS ONE OF ALMOST 60 PEOPLE INSIDE THE CROSSROADS MINISTRIES CHURCH IN FINLEYVILLE WHEN A TORNADO TOUCHED DOWN, SHE SAYS. THEY WERE ALL SHELTERING FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES, THEN CAME OUT TO FIND EVEN MORE DAMAGE ON THE SURROUNDING ROADS. SHE SAYS SHE FEELS GRATEFUL TO BE ALIVE AFTER SUCH A TERRIFYING EXPERIENCE. I HAVE BEEN AROUND AREAS THAT HAD TORNADOES BUT NEVER IN A TORNADO. UM, I DON’T EVER WANT TO EXPERIENCE THIS AGAIN, WASHINGTON COUNTY OFFICIALS CONFIRMED TO PITTSBURGH ACTION NEWS FOUR THAT THERE WERE SOME MINOR INJURIES AS A RESULT OF THE DAMAGE SUSTAINED TO THE CHURCH. THEY’VE SINCE BEEN TREATED AND RELEASED. RESIDENTS. WE SPOKE TO ALL IN SHOCK OVER WITNESSING THAT TORNADO FIRSTHAND AND THE PATH OF DESTRUCTION LEFT BEHIND, RIGHT UP ON THE HILL UP THERE, THERE WAS A TORNADO DOING DAMAGE. IT WAS LIFTING SHEET METAL OFF IN THE DISTANCE, BUT NOTHING THAT CLOSE. IT SEEMED LIKE I WAS IN THE MOVIE TWISTER, ALMOST. NOW, CLEANUP EFFORTS ARE SLOWLY BEGINNING. THERE’S DRONES WITH INFRARED THAT ARE FLYING TO SEE IF THERE’S ANY ADDITIONAL PEOPLE THAT ARE DISPLACED OR MISSING IN ANY KIND OF WAY. THAT WAS YASMIN RODRIGUEZ REPORTING FOR A TIME LAST NIGHT. FAYETTE COUNTY WAS ALSO UNDER A TORNADO WARNING. THIS IS VIDEO FROM SOUTH UNION TOWNSHIP, WHERE THE STORM BROUGHT HEAVY DOWNPOURS. LOOK AT THAT. HAIL COLLECTING ON THE GROUND LIKE SNOW. IT CAUSED A TRICKY SITUATION FOR DRIVERS THERE. WE’LL BE SURE TO BRING YOU THE LATEST AS WE LEARN MORE ABOUT THE DAMAGE REPORTS AND THE RECOVERY EFFORTS UNDERWAY THIS MORNING.
