What the fuck are tropical storms doing in Pennsylvania? Pittsburgh doesn't export is shitty weather elsewhere; I don't know how the South gets away with this bullshit.

Well you're wrong joe. Apparently the entire county is flooded and a lot of people (like my father) can't get home tonight because the roads are flooded.
