Had some rain in Pittsburgh this evening.

The street slopes down from both sides to a storm drain in front of my house. I cleaned off the grate today, but when the rain is really heavy, it washes debris down and clogs it.

Looking down a long flight of cement stairs to the sidewalk and a residential street. Water completely covers the sidewalk and extends almost to the yellow line at the center of the street. The wind is blowing hard, and there is thunder and lightning. The other side of the street is also flooded and it extends a ways down the alley.
