In 2026, who thinks this is still okay?? Over 1,000 balloons creating litter and killing wildlife. Manchester Field, 5:55pm today. It's illegal, but is it actually enforced?

Man what a day of storms we had. Three separate rounds of severe thunderstorms 🤯 I was able to go out for that last round and got some pretty good bolts. Images 4 and 5 are composites combining multiple strikes into one image.

Anyone else having bad-weather-body?

I have fibro so I can feel the weather in my literal nervous system, like I can tell my nerves are under more pressure and tight and practically vibrating. Usually it does not last this long but tonight it’s bad.

One of my cats has been freaking out too.

Anyone else having bad weather body?

This looks intense in the video... And yet was even *more* crazy looking in real life. Going up 279/79 about 30-ish minutes ago.

Lightning very close while going thru this after video was taken. Lots of big puddles in Cranberry. Made it home safe! Be careful everyone!

(video has no sound)

No air conditioning. No fan. No TV. No computer. Shouldn't open the 'fridge. My dogs are panting their hot breath in my general direction. I'm hot. This sucks. What to do?

Many road hazards, be careful

60 Upvotes

- Tree down on 376 westbound right lane, right after the Wilkins on-ramp. No flares or anything

- Traffic lights out at 22/Rodi Road intersection right before that Wilkins on-ramp

- It looks like the connecting road from Browns Hill road you take to get on to 376 Eastbound at the squirrel hill tunnel on-ramp is closed. Fire trucks and cops blocking there. Also cops on Murray Ave.

- Tons of cops were turning on to Browns Hill off of summerset Dr.

- Commute from Monroeville to Homestead Grays Bridge area took me 45 minutes. Roads flooded everywhere.

Between the first responders everywhere, the barrage of lightning, debris, and trees down, it might have been one of my more wild commutes
