Heavy rains threaten crops across Pittsburgh-area farms
Farmers in western Pennsylvania are concerned that repeated rainfall and the flooding it leads to could have a significant impact on the amount of crops they can grow this year. At Yarnick's Farm in Armstrong Township, Indiana County, a field of sweet corn was unrecognizable on Wednesday, with the field completely underwater. "I was shocked," said farm owner Dan Yarnick. "These fields were like a lake; everything was underwater." He's had trouble coming to terms with the 40 acres of his 250-acre farm that have flooded. "It's very depressing because you put your heart and soul into this business, plus every damn dime you can get," Yarnick said. Produce from the farm ends up at Pittsburgh-area grocery stores and restaurants like Eat'n Park. The farm has been around since the early 1980s and has been profitable until the past two years. Since then, they have lost $200,000 due to what Varnick said is inflation. By Thursday evening, much of the water had dried up, but not all. A pool of water still sat above part of a cornfield, which meant it was a loss. Yarnick says they should still be able to salvage a lot. "Maybe some will recover. The corn might stand up," Yarnick said. "The peppers, this little pepper field, I had no room. I stuck them in early. They don't like wet feet. They'll get disease, and they won't produce." He said this has been the worst year for flooding in many years, with hit after hit, impacting him and many other fams. He explained there's a potential ripple effect. "Could there be shortages, you know? It could be price hikes," Yarnick said. "But it's definitely gonna hurt." Other farms rely on the Yarnicks to grow corn early in the season so they can sell it in their respective markets. Yarnick is not sure if that will be possible, saying he has to prioritize his market. KDKA-TV also spoke with the owners of a smaller farm outside Slippery Rock in Butler County. Crighton Family Farm has fought flooding and extremely muddy fields. The owners said the combination has stopped them from planting. In their time farming, it's the first time that's ever happened this late in the year, and for the first time, they have even been worried they may not be able to plant at all. "It's going to be rough. It's so consistent," Yarnick said, referring to the rain. "It needs to quit. We need some sunshine. We all need it, and the crops need it." Yarnick needs it, too. "I've been very depressed, to be honest with you, kind of grouchy," Yarnick said. "You know, it's just, it's hard." He openly wonders what the future holds for his farm. He wants to be able to hand the reins to his son, but is not sure if it is possible. "We can only take so many hits," Yarnick said.

With dangerous heat coming, Park Forest, Illinois apartment complex residents have no AC
An Extreme Heat Watch has been issued for the Chicago area starting Saturday morning — and with the heat making time outside potentially dangerous, everyone over the next few days will be looking for ways to stay cool — from the city to the suburbs. But in south suburban Park Forest, residents living at the Autumn Ridge apartment complex can't catch a breeze. "$1,645 for no AC," said resident Shaquille Jones. The thermostats inside the apartments read 88 degrees on Thursday, with the air conditioner for several buildings being broken. "It's going to be 92, 95 degrees for the whole week, and they have no idea," said resident Jovan Barker. "They say they're always waiting on a piece." Residents have hauled in fans because. They say the AC hasn't been on all year. "In May, I made a phone call to the office and asked, what day should we be expecting the air on? They said, 'Well, you know, we're going to turn it on by at least by [June] 1st.' You know, on the 1st, I said, OK, I guess we will stick it out — because we had some days in May that it was hot," said Carmel Davis. "Well, today is what, the 19th?" The management texted residents this weekend saying, "More parts for the AC have been ordered and we do not have a confirmed repair date yet. We apologize for the inconveniences and appreciate your patience." "It's hotter in there than it is outside," said Barker. Yet patience is running out, for everyone from infants to seniors living in the complex. "You can lose your life from being in extreme conditions such as heat," said Park Forest Village Trustee Randall White. "I think that should be a necessity." White said the fact that the complex has not had AC all season needs to be addressed immediately. "Equipment breaks and equipment fails," White said. "But when you're taking in from one resident $1,600 a month, you should have funds if that takes place where you can safely, quickly, and effectively do some things to better the condition that's going on." As to the greater issue of the heat, the City of Chicago will open various cooling stations from Saturday through next week. City leaders are set to talk about plans to keep everyone safe during the heat wave on Friday morning.

Home of Philadelphia's WMMR radio station damaged in severe storms
At One Bala Plaza in Bala Cynwyd, which is home to the Philadelphia radio station WMMR, part of the roof fell into a back parking lot during severe storms on Thursday night, leaving behind chunks of roofing, insulation and even some wood beams. Fortunately, no one was injured. "We heard this big crash and people started calling us, saying, 'Hey the roof just blew off,'" said Beasley Media Group's chief engineer Rodney Byrd. "We lost the roofing of the upper part of our building here." Several cars were damaged, including a station vehicle whose back window shattered. Byrd said despite the damage, he's grateful it wasn't any worse. "Everyone is OK, that's all that matters," Byrd said. In Philadelphia's East Oak Lane neighborhood, a child was injured Thursday after they were trapped under a tree during the storm. The child was rescued and taken to Einstein Medical Center. Another person was hurt after a tree fell on a car in Overbrook. The storm knocked out power for thousands of households in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware and even left Jefferson Abington Hospital in Montgomery County without electricity for hours. The threat of severe storms has passed for the Philadelphia area, but the NEXT Weather Team is tracking a heat wave that moves in this weekend and could bring multiple days of temperatures in the upper 90s or higher.
