radar. some are severe as they roll from our region. the storms left behind some damage. sky force 10 flew over may havertown and check out the damage on swiss farms. a silo was knocked over. fortunately no one was hurt. we're told that store remains open. >> children left just in time in upper darby. you can see just how strong that rain came down at this playground, and this is what it looked like along route 70 in pennsauken about an hour ago with some very strong winds. nbc 10 first alert meteorologist sheena par convenient is tracking the rain in your neighborhood. sheena? >> yeah, jacqueline, still a couple of very strong thunderstorms especially in delaware and now organizing in new jersey and heading to the shore. if you're along the shore get ready for strong storms headed your way in. delaware severe thunderstorms through parts of kent county and right through dover and riverview. dover is on the edge of this now and river view and across 13 very heavy rain. a lot of lightning and gusty winds and near 60 miles an hour

possible. potential hail and this is all moving in from maryland so it's going to continue track together east right across the delaware bay and eventually into cape may county. if you're in georgetown expect by 6:15. cape may is 6:40 and almost around the same time. wildwood can expect it. very heavy rain and presipe rain almost 2 inches an hour and also have a line of organizing thunderstorms because they have organized more right now than they have been over the past hour. they are organizing a lot more from maurice river stretching up through the ac expressway and galloway township and these moving into atlantic city very soon and heavy rain with these organized storms now and lightning. now, the general motion is from west to east mainly and with any severe storms expect damaging winds and localized flooding. we'll continue tracking this for you and what to expect tonight and more heat heading our way.

>> we just showed that you silo knocked over. nbc 10's drew smith arrived in may havertown and has had a close-up look at the storm damage there. drew? >> yeah, jacqueline, it's cleanup time down here at this swift farm's store. if you've ever driven by you can see there's a large wooden silo that used to stand upright. right now it's just a pile of debris, an they have been working pretty quickly to try to clean it all up. we were sitting in this storm and we have some video of some of the surrounding-year around may havertown just a couple miles down the road. when the winds came in, came in so quickly it was shaking our truck around so not surprising to see so many trees knocked down through the medians on roads. there's a couple of freeze on cars, houses, and power is out for some parts of businesses and homes throughout this area. we did speak to the managers here at the swiss farms stores who told us what it was like to ride this storm out. >> i'm actually saying it's much like a tornado so buff know you

have the straight-line winds and all of a sudden, boom, it's down. >> and we have sky force 10 up above may havertown right now. probably a few blocks away from where we're standing are street after street down and on homes and in the streets. a lot of people with lots to clean up. have a good crew. half a dozen people trying to shovel up all of the debris and, again, the storm moved in fairly quickly but now we're just seeing the amount of damage it has caused and we will mention that if you're out driving, and a lot of people getting off work, a lot of stoplights are not working in this area so do be careful. drew smith, nbc 10 move. >> now back to the rnc and cleveland and my co-anchor jim rosenfield a busy day in ohio. rim? >> reporter: definitely is, and in just the past hour we've learned donald trump's motorcade

was in an accident somewhere here in this area but we understand donald trump was not hurt. it was not a serious accident involving his motorcade. he's still scheduled to be seen here tonight in this arena. the convention kicked off officially at 1:00 this afternoon and at 1:00 is when it officially kicked off and that's when we've already seen some drama here on the floor and my colleague nbc 10's lauren mayk is joining us with our live team coverage. what happened here this afternoon? not totally unexpected. we were ready for this. >> we knew something like this could happen today because here's sort of the background of this. there is a group that has been known as, you know, delegates unbound and basically what this means is they want to come here to the rnc and vote what they call chair conscience on vote for whatever they want but a lot of delegates come in having to vote for donald trump and having to vote for someone specific because of the wait primaries worked out so there a lot of sort of complicated aspects to

that but that's one of the really big issues and things really just started to get loud. there was chanting and there was yelling back and forth. let me show you some of the things happening on the floor and take a listen? >> looking for a roll call vote on the rules. >> why do you want that? >> because one of the results really affects the grass roots because the rnc wants to take control of all of the communication and keep it hidden from the grass roots group. >> reporter: issue of binding the delegates and unbinding the delegates, is that the main issue? >> that's not the main issue to us right now, no. >> reporter: so you heard there that even though the binding of the delegates and them having to vote for someone specific, that has really been the overarchingish euric the folks who were down here on the floor today, they were chanting and yelling about all kinds of different things. they had all kinds of issues of the rule and the way the rules

are being handled and it really erupted into a shouting match that we don't see very often anymore at convengsz. nowadays they seem to be a lot carom. a lot of pageantry and a lot of really formal planned things, but today things went a little bit differently, jim? >> convention in its infancy and lauren mayk and right here from the floor. already plenty of action. take a look. >> welcome to the 2016 republican national convention. >> reporter: republicans go first. >> the convention officially kicked off this afternoon with song and ceremonies inside quicken loans arena and outside it's what you might expect. >> we are the revolution. >> reporter: several hundred protests and protesters holding dueling rallies but so far the protests have been relatively

calm meaning the focus can turn to inside the arena where there election can be unlike any other with pennsylvania right in the center of it. >> if they win pennsylvania, they win the presidential election, so we always play a big role. >> reporter: this morning pennsylvania delegates met face to face to dish over breakfast and pennsylvania a key battleground state and recent polls show it's a close race between hillary clinton and donald trump. >> the way bucks county go pennsylvania goes so he won all 54 municipalities in bucks county, as i said, and i think that puts the state in play and it feels that way more so than it has in past presidential elections. >> day one halfway through but there's plenty more to come this evening and we'll be here to bring it all to you. there are several speakers lined up for starting at 8:00 tonight including former new york mayor rudy giuliani as well as former

texas governor rick perry and then at 10:00 as we mentioned the headliner will be donald trump's wife melania and don't forget to join us for a special one-hour edition here from the rnc. that's at 7:00 tonight when we'll bring all the sights and sounds from here in cleveland. jacqueline, back to you. >> expected to be in cleveland until later in the week. i know earlier you spoke about his motorcade. there was a minor accident and no talk and there is talk he is arriving tonight. >> yes. usually the nominee, presumptive nominee not seen until later in the week when he accepts the party's nomination. hey, this is donald trump and as one personal put it it's not untypical that he'll do something unusual. >> jim, thank you. all the attention on cleveland. a lot here at home to get

philadelphia ready for next week's residention. the main focus of next week's dnc is at the wells fargo center. there's plenty to see at the pennsylvania convention center and one plane got a lot of attention today. nbc 10's monique braxton joins us live from the pennsylvania convention center with more on that. monique. >> reporter: hi, jacqueline. this is where political fest is taking shape, and as you mentioned we also stopped by the wells fargo center today and found in both places security is a top priority. >> someone willing to trade their life for someone else's, you can almost never prevent that in a free society, but do i think that will happen, no? >> when the democrats come to town governor rub dell estimates more than 150,000 philadelphians and tour lifts come here to political fest, where you'll see a life-sized represent cav air force one, go inside the oval office and play trivia games and

the chair committee chair says nothing is 100% foolproof. >> demonstrators will come to philadelphia and won't be engaged. in cleveland i'm afraid the trump people will engage the demonstrators. we don't have any that have here. >> since october federal and local security experts have been preparing to protect government officials and delegates who will as ball here. the secret service is also closely monitoring terrorist attacks around the world including the most recent in nice, france. >> with regards to the truck, that's why you'll see the barricades. you'll see sand trucks and you'll see road closures. >> jim henry from the secret service also tells us security fencing will be in place by week's end outside the wells fargo center. same-sex week air restrictions begin. >> faa, the secret service, the military, have put plans into place. >> reporter: and philadelphia

police say they have a plan in place for events like this which is political fest. if you want to come down and participate tickets for adults are $15 and for children $5 but there's a discount if you come as a group. go to our website for more on that. live inside the convention snert, monique braxton, nbc 10 news. >> next at 6:00, a pennsylvania man is blamed for the attempted coup in turkey. tonight nbc 10 smoke to the spokesman of the cleric and why he chose pennsylvania as his compound. >> strong storms are moving through and who can expect them next and what to expect for the rest of the week as temperatures heat up again. that's coming up. >> and speaking of those storms, sky force 10 continues to find damage from today's weather in may havertown. you can see one of many large trees that are down. stay with us. >> we're live from the rnc. follow us on facebook, twitter

or the nbc app. all that this week as it plays out and count on nbc 10.

new details about the turkish man living in exile in the poconos.

tonight the united states says they have not received an extradition request from turkey for the cleric accused of leading last week's coup. more than 200 people died and nearly 9,000 employees across the country were let go. more now from the poconos. >> reporter: rogue faxes of the turkish military took helicopters and tanks trying to topple the government but the coup failed. hundreds are dead and turkey's president are poking blame to the pocono mountains demanding fethullah gulen be extradited. >> he said he had nothing to do with it and he categorically denies. >> reporter: cleric rejects violence and would never help with a military uprising. >> it is very clear that it's politically motivated. he's a man of peace and defended peace against terrorist groups like isis and condemned violence all throughout his life.

>> reporter: gulen has long lived in exile in the poconos teaching his unique blend of islam and western democracy and often clashing with turkish president erdogan and at a popular diner down the street local residents read the headline and shocked their small town is getting international attention. >> but it's getting too close to home as far as i'm concerned. >> reporter: meantime the cleric believes he's been made a scapegoat but says if he's forced back to turkey he'll go in peace. >> he says i'm 77 years old and i believe in god and the hereafter. i'm not blink an eye and go the gallos if news. >> reporter: sources close to gulen say he's not been contacted by any american official and will formally cooperate if a formal extradition ask was made. >> well, we're still dealing with strong thunderstorms. mostly new jersey and delaware right now. so here's the radar.

a lot of the heaviest rain has already moved through philadelphia and now we're looking at it moving towards the delaware beaches and the jersey shore. light rain around philadelphia but heavy rain is shown by red here, that's through parts of kent and sussex county. riverview down to bridgeville. a lot of lightning here and right across 13 in delaware. milford, seeing the very heavy rain, too. that's where the delaware beaches in sussex county, moving into seaford is very important and could see very strong wind gusts and if you're in georgetown here at 6:21 and villas by 6:32 and cape may by 6:41 eventually across the delaware bay and north wildwood by 6:45 so this heavy rain, we expect that to continue, too. i don't really see this weakening any time soon. precip rates almost 2 1/2 inches an hour and coming with a lot of lightning as well so i wouldn't be splois surprised if we see some street flooding hand creek flooding and pretty localized

and heavy rain moving through in a very short period of time. denis up to corbin city and galloway township. all moves towards the shore as well very quickly and these storms have real el organized compared to 30 minutes ago. atlantic city can expect by 6:20 and eventually it will be moving out of the area. we're also watching up through the lehigh valley where the lehigh valley already saw its fair share of storms this afternoon and now we have a little cluster of heavier rain developing right around parts of north hampton and we'll be watching this very closely. it is crossing 476 here up in the lehigh valley and we could see that start to organize a bit but temperatures have dropped off so a lot of energy from those warm temperatures is sort of leaving the area and now the severe storm threat is still up. any severe storm did have winds near of 0 miles an hour, lightning and heavy rain and possible hail. still in a severe thunderstorm watch. that's going to go until 8:00

p.m. and that's in the pink coloring here and the strongest of the storms, those will be moving out soon. i would say within the next hour or two for south jersey and delaware. other he's future weather and a line of storms at 4:30 this evening. the rest area dry and maybe lingering showers and maybe by 9:00, 10:00 i think we'll be pretty much in the clear with leftover rain trying to develop but i think the severe threat should be over by then and then by 6:00 tomorrow morning we'll be drying out and we'll have plenty of sunshine in the forecast. look at the temperatures though. already in the mid-90s today. some areas felt triple-digit heat like delaware, for example, but the rain has real cooled us down and now in the mid-730s but the heat will be coming back as we go into the rest of this week. now tomorrow we're going to be dry about the mid to upper 80s and humidity dropping through the day. it will feel a lot more comfortable. wednesday will be the most comfortable day out of the week and low humidity and temperatures mid to upper 80s and then 990s come back for the end of the week and humidity

saturday. we could be close to 100 degrees and those 90s continue as we go into next week. >> we are just five days away from this year's nationwide clear the shelter event. we went to the camden county animal shelter to get the dish on pure breds up for agopgs. >> what's very interesting is you would think at a shelter oh, everyone is like oh, there's no pure breeds but we do. we do have pure breeds. in fact, we have a beagle and we also have a chihuahua that's ready to be adopted. >> clear the shelters is the saturday. dozens of local shelters are participating and most will wave offer discount the fees. more than 19,000 pets were adopted across the country last year during the clear the shelters event. for a look at all of the shelters participating go to nbc10.com or click on the app and up next we're going to turn it to sports. john, what's ahead? >> good to see you. we'll hear from the phillies. aaron knoller returns to the

mound after extra rest. can we he bound from his last five outings and will carson wentz be inactive from tonight's eagles game to the. that's next.

hey, i'm john clarke from come comfort sportsnet. pitcher aaron nola is back making his first start in two weeks. he's trying to rebound from the worst stretch of his young career. his last five starts he's winless with an e.r.a. over 13, so the fils skipped his last start before the all-star break giving him a long rest. manager pete mccannon, do you think it's going to help? >> i think it did.

you know, he won't admit it. he's a true competitor and wants to be out on that field compete, but i think any time can you get away from the fray and just kind of think about what you need do and recall your mistakes and what you did right i think is important, and i think he's raring to go. >> he visited family and went fishing. wish we could all do that. many flyers alums traded in hair hockey sticks for golf clubs. flyer greats at the philadelphia cricket club raising money for the alumni association and the team will be celebrating its 50th anniversary season this year and for many flyers, including bill barber, it's tough. they are celebrating their golden anniversary without their founder ed snyder. >> he was the glue of our hockey team until he passed away, and i dearly miss him. he's a good friend. i had a chance to spend a little bit of time with him when he was ill, and like i said, i really

find is hard to believe it will ever be the same. >> the philadelphia district attorney's office announced no charges will be filed against philadelphia eagle aguilar due to the lack of evidence. the second overall pick carson wentz will likely be the team's third qb and inactive on game days this season. take a look last night. sir paul mccartney performing in boston with a special guest, no, the patriots not represented by their coach bill belichick or robert kraft. that's tight end rob gronkowski shredding the air guitar next to the beatles legend. the summer of gronk rolls on. i'm john clanchlgt rk. we're right back.
