Ivan hits Pittsburgh

The remnants of Ivan mixed with a cold front, and inundated Pittsburgh with record-breaking rains just in time for rush hour Friday afternoon.
Today was a good day to not be in a car in Pittsburgh!
Rush hour battled heavy rain wash on most streets to closed streets due to flooding or landslides. All highways but the Parkway North were also closed for accidents, flooding, or landslides.

These are a couple of pictures from driving on Pittsburgh's Wilkens Avenue, showing the extent of the rain on average streets. Any readers with pictures of heavier flooding are encouraged to contribute.

Dutin from photo.dutin.com wanted to share his photos. I include his picture of the trains brought to a standstill. Note the lot beside the tracks completely flooded as well.
