wind that came through last night. it crushed a car and damaged the other. this kind of damage is not widespread, the storm seemed to pick and choose the targets but nor those in the target's bull's-eye, it was bad. >> the spot that got hit was hit hard. this massive tree toppled and crushed donna ruth's car, all she heard was the wind and a snap. >> i looked outside and the tree was all over the cor. i just moved here and my husband just passed away, i'm not feeling good about this. >> tammy says she didn't realize that the top of a massive tree crushed her above the ground pool when she went to get it ready for her grandkids. >> i went out side to turn on

the filter and this is what i had seen. >> you add the fact that the trees took down power lines, this served as the icing on the cake for people in southern buck county. a snapped tree had to take a trip across ron's roof before landing on the power lines at his house. >> you can see the top branches roll add cross the roof and it sounded like they just ripped right off. >> there is still 13,200 homes without power in lower bucks, the bad news is, some of those outages could take days to get back online because of the fallen trees, county officials are opening senior centers withoutages, and there is a lot more information that can be found at 6abc.com.

this morning's storms. we have one storm moving to the northern fringe of baltimore, it's slowly moving off to the east at 20 to 25 miles per hour. if it holds together it could push into northern newcastle county. because the atmosphere is still warm and muggy. there is still a slight risk for severe weather, and if anything pops north and west of philadelphia through the lehigh valley, there is no severe thunderstorm watch or warning in affect at this time. 88 in philadelphia, and 88 in dover, again the sea breeze is kicking in only in the 70s at the shore and with many folks still without power and if you had no power, it's uncomfortable with the dew points, ranging into the lower 70s and 60s to the south, oppressive to the south but drier air and cooler dew points coming in from the north. we have a nice change coming for the end of the week, we'll have

that the u.s. spied on gill, and a professor and two other americans. including the executive direction ter of care, all of these men denied this connection and involvement in terrorism and have not been accused of any crime. >> there is nothing in my back ground, i carried a security clearance. the obama administration says that it's entirely false that they spied on political figures because they disagreed on public policy or the u.s. government. while not discussing these individual cases, they say there must be probable cause or court order until a u.s. citizen is subject to u.s. surveillance. and a german agency is inspecting a case.

the delay has not cleared. this is miles and miles of heavy traffic with speeds of just about 5 miles per hour. coming out of the city i would stick with the river drives, the mlk and the kelly instead or ridge avenue or lancaster avenue, because the schuylkill westbound is at a stand still. 95 southbound at the girard point bridge, a disabled vehicle, we had big issues this morning on the mass transit front and the east line is not running and shuttle busing on the 101 trolley and this afternoon the trolleys are running and are you boarding all trains between scenic road and media from the inbound tracks, keep that in mind if you ride the 101. down in delaware there is storm damage and smith bridge road remains closed and philadelphia pike northbound closed in claymont because of a downed traffic signal, and lancaster pike is blocked because of

with temperatures in the low to mid-80s, anywhere north and west of philadelphia, 88 in center city, and as we slide to the south, delaware mid-80s and 85 in bridgeton and right along the shore we have the sea brees just like the last two days kicking in and holding the temperatures in the upper 70s. the wind comes in off the water and stabilizes the atmosphere especially along the shore. 92 in willing ton and 94 in philadelphia not as high as yesterday but enough that it has some energy in the atmosphere, fuel that any of the storms that develop could turn to the side. they have issued these watches, a half hour ago they said they would not issue a watch and now there is a watch out. this is something we have to follow until 10ek, most of the area with the exception of cape may coin. that means the potential is

over showers are in southern new jersey and delaware. what to expect the storms are scattered but where they do pop, they turn to the severe side. with locally damaging winds that are typically 58 to 59 miles per hour. as we look at the forecast again, the spotty showers are around and 63 in allentown and 70 in philadelphia and 72 in dover, your four day at 4:00, tomorrow is a transition day as the sun sinks to the south. if you see more clouds or shower, it's at the shore tomorrow, friday sun and clouds with lower human and the humidity comes back and partly sunny and 87 and the humidity spikes on sunday, and 88 degrees. it's generally quiet but the watch up until 10:00 we keep you monitored all evening. >> thank you adam. a stressful flight delay
