Anyone know if debm55 is okay? Huge storms, 4 dead, power out for over 430,000 in Pittsburgh area [View all]

The storms hit Tuesday afternoon, with wind gusts 80 to 90 mph.

My family member who lives near there said schools were closed, power lines down, fallen trees everywhere and roads blocked going into the city. They had roof damage and the kids' trampoline flew up and over two houses.
