Who are we?
We are a small group of storm chasers covering severe weather across North Central Appalachia. Think western Pennsylvania, eastern Ohio, and northern West Virginia.
We track storms in real-time and share updates to keep people safe and informed.
What we do
We don’t just chase storms around the area. We help people too. If a community has been hit hard, we try to step in with support and resources.
Our coverage includes photos, videos, and live updates to give people advanced warning about what is coming their way.
Mission Statement
At Storm Intercept Pittsburgh, our mission is to provide real-time severe weather coverage and assist communities across North Central Appalachia before, during, and after extreme weather events. Through responsible storm chasing, accurate reporting, and direct support to those impacted, we aim to improve public safety and awareness. As we grow, our goal is to become a 501 (c)(3) Nonprofit organization dedicated to serving the region with integrity, compassion, and a commitment to building weather-resilient communities.
