Western PA has had an unusual amount of precipitation in recent months and with all that has come not only flooding, but landslides, mudslides, rockslides and now collapsed roads. People have been forced out of heir homes and many of those home are now inhabitable and have to be torn down. It’s a mess. We’re praying for a dry spell.
