Strong storms passed across the Pittsburgh area on Tuesday night, causing many districts to shut down their schools and postpone classes.
On Tuesday night, severe storms shook the region, causing hundreds of thousands of houses to remain without power as trees were uprooted and tornado warnings were issued due to wind gusts of up to 70 miles per hour.
More than 200,000 houses in Allegheny County are without electricity, according to Duquesne Light.
The swift but strong storms left residents in Western Pennsylvania to evaluate the damage. The PerLora Furniture building on Pittsburgh's South Side had its roof torn off as it touched down at the Birmingham Bridge and East Carson Street crossroads.
Residents were advised by authorities to exercise utmost caution when navigating the city.
As Pittsburgh residents shared pictures of significant damage on social media, several schools, including Fox Chapel Area, Gateway, Franklin Regional, Freeport Area, Mt. Lebanon, Penn Hills, Plum, and Riverview, have announced closure or two-hour delays.
