Linda mentioned to me she heard about some flooding in Pittsburgh. There was nothing bad on my bus route, so I don't know the details of anywhere else aside from some coworker stories. A coworker today, though, pointed out the Allegheny river levels rising pretty high, making her commute a little longer.
I took a photo this morning around 8, from my building windows facing northwest across the river. Right in front of the arches in front of PNC Park is supposed to be a trail (rather nice one), but it's underwater.
The second photo was taken around 3:30, and you can see some grass from the levels dropping.
To give you an idea of what the trail looks like normally, here's a good Google maps link with a street view. Judging by the people you see on the trail, I'm thinking the water levels here are maybe 15-20 feet too high? Hard to say.
When I left work it was raining pretty hard again, so who knows what the water levels were at after all that.
