bufrtd of localized very strong winds of 70 to 80 miles an hour. >> reporter: on the beach side, hotel patrons were unscathed by the roof partially torn off. far different vish you from this time yesterday. >> actually the boardwalk is protected. the back side, the bay side is where winds came through and did the damage. >> the wot of it. inside, equipment used to keep wildwood beaches in tiptop shape. clearly it's been a busy 24 hour of cleanup and still much left to be dub. inish ll 39,000 atlantic city residents were without power at the height of the storm. all but a thousand should be restored by midnight tonight or midday tomorrow, precisely when more storms could bear down. in wildwood, i'm cydney long, "nbc 10 news." >> at least they had that respite today to be able to tackle that cleanup.

>> i know. so overwhelming, i imagine, for enout there. glenn. >> yeah. those winds were mighty strong. just offshore we had gusts to 85 miles an hour. of course, all of that is above hurricane force, but it's over a wilder area than just a tornado. it's just a technicality for the insurance. wind is wind as far as damage is concerned. when you've got hurricanes, then you've got issues with insurance kanch. 85 degrees with sunshine. 84 in lehigh. 82 in delaware. it's just been a beautiful day, especially in the afternoon as the humidity has gone down. it's been a warm one at the shore. the west wind being a land breeze. they were even a little warmer a couple of hours ago. the wind coming in off the bay. 95 degrees in woodbine. now, we have nothing but high clouds down in southern delaware, but storms increasing around the chicago area. that's just the beginning of the

increase of this system coming in from the west. the highest risk for any severe weather tomorrow is from the philadelphia area southward. that doesn't mean we're guaranteed to get it or that it's going to be widespread. yesterday's damage was certainly isolated. but the severe storm threat during the day tomorrow, let's take a look at some of the latest timing from the latest computer models. as we go into the morning hours, this one is keeping the showers back to the west. we showed you one earlier that had it in by 6:00 a.m. that's really heavy activity but this goes more to the southeast or delaware and extreme south jersey. the farther north you go, the lester threat of severe weather. there can still be showers around, but the severe weather threat is there in the morning. and then this is another possibility later on on thursday evening. again, delaware and south jersey with the main threats. now, during the day tomorrow, some sunshine, some thunder storms.
