Between six tornadoes and straight line winds, severe weather left a trail of damage across the Pittsburgh area on Saturday.
The National Weather Service has so far confirmed six tornadoes: three in Washington County, two in Fayette County and one in Westmoreland County. The tornadoes touched down near Ellsworth, Beallsville, Centerville, Brownsville, Star Junction and State Game Lands #296.
Based on damage reports, the National Weather Service said the area saw a "large swath" of straight line wind damage, with wind ranging from 60 mph to 80 mph.
The strong winds brought down trees, knocking out power to tens of thousands of people. At the peak, West Penn Power said 72,000 customers had lost power.
