county, glen mills area where traffic is being diverted and this area right at schoolhouse lane and this is why. a huge tree has come down not just in one spot but many spots in this stretch of road taking out power lines here. you can see that the power lines are like spaghetti or shoe strings dangling around and power lines on the road. damage to the trees as well as just take a look at that branch, the biggest part of the damage here. it took out transformer pole and come down on the lines stretching across the road here blocking this section of route one. so those lanes a across are getting through some traffic is trying to go the wrong way down this road. never a good idea. i cannot urge enough that motorist need to be very careful heading out the door this morning. this is what you will see especially here in hard hit delaware county. we just came down the road from chester heights where we have another tree just like this across valley brook road so you want to be aware thaw might run into this.

you might to have detour your morning commute this morning. if you take a look at the video you can see during the height of the storm how much damage it a has caused. that is a home on louelan road in chester heights a big tree, 250 years old came down on a house, slicing it in half. the home owner was at home at the time. he had to be taken out of the hospital and taken to the hospital for evaluation last night. he has a whole lot of clean up to do. so do many other people in delaware county. this is a hard hit area. peco says more than 90,000 customers are without power this morning and they say that in the hardest hit areas it may be until friday, before all of the power is restored, but they have a lot of crews in and around this area some 200 local contractors i'm sure we will have have more and more people hit the ground as the day comes on and day gets older. you can take us back out here live on the scene busy route one when do you ever stan in the middle of it but all this

damage left behind. it will be quite sometime before cars get through this area here again. plan on extra time for your morning commute. we are live from glen mills delaware county, jan carabao for cbs-3 "eyewitness news". meanwhile if your morning commute involves rails you might want to double-check your ride. patco says services will not be up and running until after morning rush. engineers working to restore services after severe storms same storms knock out power. storms shut down or delayed amtrak services. "eyewitness news" spoke to the passengers who said power issues left him trapped on the train for hours. >> at least twice as long as usual, and still no electricity, it was hot and really very stuffy. there was no water. the toilets were non-functional. people got conflicting information. >> wow. >> new jersey transit by the way will operator patco

that was the running theme with the wind damage that came n storm scan three is empty. high pressure briefly taking control here. 59 degrees current temperature and comfort is with us as well at philly international. really every where else. we are gradually seeing those dew points drop off ape better hair day unfold as day progresses here. plenty of sunshine. your high is in the mid to upper 80's but by 3:00 p.m. we will be at 84. full sunshine, across the game. if you have any cloud it is just because of the retreating system. skies will continue to clear many of you already have that picturesque blue skies going on. we are eventually tracking two separate systems in this forecast and those move in, first one as early as tomorrow. so we will be timing out what that not only means for our forecast down the road but wet weather chances a as they start to pop up later this week. for now vittoria, all is calm breath of fresh air. >> as long as it is a good

hair day. >> i know. >> i was listening, i promise. >> good morning everyone. right now if you are heading out and about list up to this traffic report. you may have to do restructuring to your usual morning commute especially taking mass transit. first lets talk about an accident on i-95, sun glare out there rush hour forming this is i-95 south atwood haven. note that is vehicle there blocking the left-hand lane. traveling in this area we have a big delay that lies beside this. it does seem to me that penndot is on the scene. we could be towing this vehicle out of the way but it is causing a problem traveling out of the area of bensalem. note that. you'll run into traffic pockets around cottman avenue and approaching betsy ross bridge down through the vine street expressway. usual stuff out there also you have usual pockets on the schuylkill expressway as well. looking at our mass transit checklist amtrak running on time, yesterday they had suspensions but they are good to go this morning thankfully. patco is still suspended and
