WATCH: Power Line Explosion In Mt. Lebanon Following Storms

MT. LEBANON (KDKA) -- Storms rolling through caused a power line to catch fire in Mt. Lebanon Monday night.

A viewer, Bill Labovitz, sent KDKA a video shot outside his home at the corner of Elatan Drive and Vanderbilt Drive.

He said around 8:30 p.m., his daughter Rebecca shot a video of the burning power line exploding.

I missed all the excitement. I'm glad Helaine Horowitz Labovitz was home. During a thunderstorm, a power line caught fire across from our home in Mt. Lebanon. Ace newswoman Rebecca Labovitz took photos of the fire and captured an explosion on video.
