area also seems to be very heavy with water, accumulating , pooling, causing a loft issues there, accident on the vine westbound before the schuylkill, the right lane compromised there, and then we have some flooding in new jersey, as well. so the good news is route 70 at route 41, all lanes both directions blocked, that has now since been cleared. however, flooding is still out here. 295 northbound, near route 42, one lane is blocked here, you will be taking it very slow through these areas that have flood being, then also in new jersey route 130 closed at route 47. your alternates, 295 or new jersey turnpike, going to be your best bet. then of course flooding in delaware, as well, so heads up on this, route 40, pulaski highway near apple bee road, your alternates, route 13, or dew month highway is your best bet, i would say just take it very, very carefully, and easy today, and leave your homes little early, rahel, back over to you. >> meisha, thank youment looking at newspaper headlines
