Yes, although western Pennsylvania generally does not get hurricanes the way some other parts of the United States do. Sometimes an intense storm hits the entire east coast (Hurricane Sandy is an example) and Pittsburgh is affected, but the city is too far inland to get many hurricanes: it is more likely to get a severe rain storm than a hurricane. According to the National Weather Service, in the past ninety years, only four Category 5 hurricanes had an impact on western Pennsylvania: the last one was Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
