(Pittsburgh, PA) A post-agenda meeting was held on Wednesday by Pittsburgh City Council members about how emergency crews handled and experienced the storms in Western Pennsylvania on April 29th, 2025. These storms caused flooding and power outages, and county and city officials confirm the power outages and the wind that was widespread exceeded every expectation. A two-day preparation was held by city and county representatives, but they underestimated the magnitude of these storms. The next part of this meeting will be about how Duquesne Light made a response to these storms.
