Death tied to heavy storm in western Pennsylvania
Authorities link a deadly fall from a Bentleyville roof to Friday night storms that toppled trees, ripped roofs, and flooded streets. The same system produced a tornado, high winds peaking around 75 to 86 mph, and widespread power outages across Washington and Westmoreland counties with injuries at a high school football game and other storm damage noted in multiple communities.
