FOR ESPECIALLY HIGH, DAMAGING 
WIND. 
WE HAVE ALREADY HAD REPORTS OF 
DAMAGING WIND OF WIND DAMAGE, 
RATHER, AND THAT IS THE BIGGEST 
RISK FOR TODAY. 
KEEP IN MIND WINDS DO NOT HAVE 
TO BE ROTATING TO BE QUITE 
DANGEROUS AND DO A LOT OF 
DAMAGE. 
ALSO THE POTENTIAL FOR FLASH 
FLOODING, IS THERE. 
THE TORNADO THREAT AND HAIL 
THREAT IS SMALL. 
BUT WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO

THROUGHOUT THE DAY.

THE COUNTY SAYS IT TOLD THE 
COMPANY TO DO MORE TESTING AND 
CLEANING, BUT THOSE DIRECTIVES 
WERE NOT FOLLOWED. 
AUTHORITIES HAVE ORDERED IT TO 
CLOSE UNTIL THE OUTBREAKS ARE 
UNDER CONTROL. 
>>> THERE HAVE BEEN NAME RUSS 
OUTBREAKS AT MEAT PROCESSING 
PLANTS. 
ONE WAS IN OUR AREA. 
THE SMITHFIELD PLANT CHANGED 
ITS CLEANING REGIMEN AFTER THE 
OUTBREAK. 
>>> A THIRD OF ALL PENNSYLVANIA 
HOUSEHOLDS STILL HAVEN'T TAKEN 
THE 2020 CENSUS. 
AND TIME IS RUNNING OUT. 
CENSUS TAKERS ARE NOW GOING TO 
CALL, E-MAIL AND SEND A SECOND 
ROUND OF POST CARDS TO 
NEIGHBORHOODS WITH LOW RESPONSE 
RATES. 
THE CENSUS IS DONE EVERY 10 
YEARS AND IT IS ACTUALLY VERY 
IMPORTANT. 
THE POPULATION COUNTS WILL 
DETERMINE HOW MUCH FRAGRANT 
MONEY AN AREA GETS, AND HOW 
MUCH REPRESENTATION YOU GET IN 
WASHINGTON AND HARRISBURG. 
THE GOVERNMENT MOD UP THE 
DEADLINE TO THE END OF 
SEPTEMBER BECAUSE OF THE COVID-
19 PANDEMIC. 
>>> HURRICANE LAURA DAMAGED 
THIS CONTROVERSIAL CONFEDERATE 
MONUMENT IN LOUISIANA. 
TWO WEEKS AGO CITY LEADERS SAID 
THE STATUE WILL REMAIN IN PLACE 
AFTER CALLS TO REMOVE IT. 
BUT LAURA KNOCKED THE STATUE 
RIGHT OFF ITS BASE. 
THE CONTROVERSIAL MONUMENTS 
HAVE BEEN THE SUBJECT OF 
NATIONWIDE DEBATE FOLLOWING THE 
DEATH OF GEORGE FLOYD AT THE 
HANDS OF LAW ENFORCEMENT. 
>>> THE PANDEMIC IS ALREADY 
CHANGING HOW PEOPLE FIND A NEW 
HOME. 
SOME OF THE PITFALLS BUYERS

. 
>>> A NEW STUDY FOUND THAT 
PENNSYLVANIA IS THE SEVENTH 
HARDEST HIT STATE WHEN IT COMES

THE BANK RATE INDEX LOOKS AT 
LATE MORTGAGE PAYMENTS AND

THE KEYSTONE STATE MOVED UP THE 
RANKINGS SINCE JUNE. 
NEW YORK, NEVADA AND NEW JERSEY 
TOPPED THE LIST. 
>>> NOW THAT MORE AMERICANS ARE 
WORKING REMOTELY, MANY ARE 
RECONSIDERING WHERE THEY LIVE. 
>> THEY ARE ALSO CHANGING HOW 
THEY FIND THEIR NEW HOMES. 
A GROWING NUMBER OF MILLENNIALS 
ARE FINDING CHEAP FIXER UPPERS. 
BETSY SWEENEY FOUND HER HOME IN 
WEST VIRGINIA ON INSTAGRAM FOR 
$18,000. 
A COUPLE IN MICHIGAN BOUGHT 
THEIR VINTAGE FARM HOUSE AFTER 
SEEING IT ON INSTAGRAM. 
>> THERE IS SO MUCH CHARACTER 
THAT IS INVOLVED WITH A LOT OF 
THESE HOMES. 
>> YOU CAN SAVE MONEY BY 
RESTORING OLDER HOMES. 
BUT BE SURE TO CONSIDER COST 
BEYOND THE STICKER PRICE. 
FOR EXAMPLE THAT WEST VIRGINIA 
HOME IS GETTING $125,000 IN 
RENOVATIONS. 
>>> THE FIRST DEPARTMENT STORE 
EVER ESTABLISHED IN THE U.S. IS 
CLOSING ITS DOORS FOR GOOD. 
THERE ARE ONLY 38 LORD AND 
TAYLOR'S LEFT AND THEY ARE ALL 
GOING TO CLOSE. 
THE COMPANY WAS IN BUSINESS FOR 
194 YEARS. 
IT FILED FOR BANKRUPTCY EARLIER 
THIS MONTH. 
THE ORIGINAL PLAN CALLED FOR 
SOME LOCATIONS TO STAY OPEN. 
BUT THE RETAILER SAYS THERE WAS 
A BETTER FINANCIAL DECISION TO 
CLOSE THEM ALL. 
>>> STILL TO COME, SOMEONE IS 
TRYING TO SCAM NATURAL GAS 
CUSTOMERS. 
WHAT YOU NEED TO LOOK OUT FOR. 
>>> RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE A FLASH 
FLOOD WARNING FOR PORTIONS OF 
ALLEGHENY AND WESTMORELAND 
COUNTY. 
I'M LOOKING AT THE WAY THE 
STORM TRACKER WILL LET YOU KNOW 
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FOR THE 
REST OF YOUR FRIDAY.

>>> NEW RESEARCH FOUND ADS HAVE 
HELPED MORE THAN 16 MILLION

ATTEMPT TO QUIT SMOKING. 
THE CAMPAIGN WAS LAUNCHED BACK 
IN 2018. 
>>> OFFICIALS IN BLAIRSVILLE 
HAVE A WARNING AFTER A CAT, 
BEING CARED FOR BY SEVERAL 
NEIGHBORS, TESTED POSITIVE FOR 
RABIES. 
OFFICIALS BELIEVE OTHER CATS IN 
THE AREA MAY HAVE THE VIRUS AS 
WELL. 
IF YOU CAME INTO CONTACT WITH A 
FERAL CAT, YOU ARE ASKED TO 
SEEK TREATMENT. 
>>> LAST WEAK THE USDA DROPPED 
RABIES ORAL VACCINATION BAIT. 
THE GOAL IS TO STOP THE SPREAD 
AMONG WILD ANIMALS. 
>>> A WARNING FROM THE GAS 
COMPANY. 
SOMEONE IS POSING AS A NATIONAL 
FUEL REPRESENTATIVE, SAYING 
THAT YOU HAVE 45 MINUTES TO PAY 
YOUR BILL OR YOUR SERVICE WILL 
BE DISCONNECTED. 
NATIONAL FUEL WANTS YOU TO KNOW 
IT WOULD NEVER FORCE PAYMENT BY 
PHONE OR REQUEST PAYMENT BY 
DEBIT, GIFT CARD OR WIRE 
TRANSFER. 
IF YOU GET A CALL LIKE THIS, 
REPORT IT. 
>>> WE NOW HAVE A FLASH FLOOD 
WARNING FOR PORTIONS OF 
SOUTHERN ALLEGHENY COUNTY, AND 
WE'LL HAVE MORE WARNINGS IN 
ESCALATOR IN THE AFTERNOON. 
DURING THE COMMERCIAL, IT 
LACKED LAKE THE GREATEST 
INSTABILITY IS TO OUR SOUTH, 
WHERE THERE HAVEN'T BEEN ANY 
STORMS YET. 
WHAT I'M SAYING IS TO THE NORTH 
THE ATMOSPHERE HAS BEEN 
OVERWORKED. 
SO THE POTENTIAL FOR ANY STRONG 
TO SEVERE STORMS IS PRETTY LOW, 
AT LEAST FOR THE NEXT HOUR OR 
SO. 
BUT THE POTENTIAL IS STILL 
THERE FOR THE REST OF THE 
EVENING INTO THE NIGHTTIME 
HOURS, SO DON'T GET RELAXED, 
I'M JUST MENTIONING TO THE 
SOUTH, YOU ALL HAVE THE 
GREATEST POTENTIAL FOR STRONG 
TO SEVERE STORMS IN THE NEXT 
HOUR OR SO. 
WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO 
MONITOR ANY STRONG CELLS THAT 
DEVELOP. 
THEY COULD GIVE THE POTENTIAL 
FOR FLASH FLOODING, HIGH, 
DAMAGING WIND GUSTS. 
WE HAVE ALREADY HAD REPORTS OF 
TREES DOWN, POWER LINES DOWN. 
MANY ARE STILL WITHOUT POWER 
FROM YESTERDAY'S STORMS AND WE 
WILL CONTINUE ON WITH THAT 
POTENTIAL FOR THIS EVENING. 
SO, AGAIN, I MENTIONED WITHIN 
THE NEXT HOUR OR SO, NORTHERN 
PORTIONS OF OUR AREA COULD BE 
GOOD TO GO, AS FAR AS ANY 
STRONG OR SEVERE STORMS. 
BUT WE COULD HAVE DEVELOPMENT 
LATER THIS EVENING. 
WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO 
WATCH THE ENTIRE AREA CONTINUE 
TO BE WEATHER AWARE AND WE'LL 
BREAK IN WHEN NEEDED. 
WE COULD HOLD ON TO STRONG 
CELLS. 
OVERNIGHT, A FEW LIGHT SHOWERS. 
TOMORROW AFTERNOON WE'LL SEE 
THE POTENTIAL FOR STRONGER 
STORMS AS MORE MOISTURE MOVES 
IN. 
BUT WE'LL HAVE A COLD FRONT TO 
MOVE OFF TOWARD THE EAST. 
SO AS WE GO INTO YOUR SUNDAY WE 
ARE LOOKING TO CLEAR THINGS 
OUT. 
WE ARE LOOKING TO GET A LOT OF 
RAIN FROM TODAY AND TOMORROW. 
AGAIN BACK TO DRY CONDITIONS BY 
SUNDAY. 
SO BY SUNDAY WE ARE LOOKING TO 
RACK UP RAIN TOTALS CLOSE TO 
TWO AND A HALF OR THREE INCHES 
OF RAIN. 
NOW THIS MODEL EARLIER TODAY 
WAS SHOWING HIGHER RAIN TOTALS 
TOWARD THE SOUTH. 
RIGHT NOW SHOWING A LITTLE LESS 
THAN AN INCH OF RAIN AND THIS 
IS ACCOUNTING THE ACTIVITY WE 
ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO SEE 
FOR TODAY. 
SO GETTING A LOT OF RAIN COMING 
OUR WAY THROUGH THE REST OF THE 
DAY TODAY. 
AND INTO TOMORROW AS WE GET 
THAT EXTRA MOISTURE FROM THE 
REMNANTS OF LAURA. 
THEN AGAIN THAT COLD FRONT 
MOVES THROUGH, MOCKING 
TEMPERATURES DONE. 
IF YOU ARE WENTING TO GET 
OUTSIDE, MAYBE HEAD OUT AND 
ABOUT, GET A BIKE RUN, BIKE 
RIDE IN, OR JUST ENJOY YOUR 
DAY, MAYBE GO TO THE 
PLAYGROUND. 
SUNDAY WILL BE YOUR DAY. 
GETTING ABOUT BEING TO 
COMPLETELY DRY CONDITIONS, A 
COOL AND DRIER DAY, DRIER AS IN 
LOWER HUMIDITY. 
THAT FILTERS INTO THE BEGINNAL 
OF YOUR NEW WORK WEEK ON 
MONDAY. 
SHOWERS AND STORMS RETURN AGAIN 
ON TUESDAY AND LOWER 
TEMPERATURES BACK INTO THE 
LOWER 80s.
