scene. >> it's been almost a week since that violent storm moved through our area and knocked out power to hundreds of thousands of people but the cleanup is still not over. ac electric told "action news" they still have about 3500 people without power in gloucester county alone. and one local mayor is blaming governor chris christie for not doing more to help. john rawlins is live in gibbstown which was one of the hardest hit areas. john, this is a very trying time for a lot of people. >> reporter: hi, nydia. it's been a long slow march to get the last thousands back online here in south jersey. tuesday's storm knocked out more atlantic electric customers than hurricane sandy back in 2012, then came saturday night's storm that added more outages to the mix. the allure of living with flashlights or even if lucky enough a small buzzing generator fading fast. dom anyone linda lived here 30 years. prior power outages lasted only a day or so. >> very frustrating.

it's getting to the point that we've made do but i'm getting a little tired of it now but i do understand there's massive destruction all over the place. >> reporter: blocked streets and downed wires and trees still a factor. atlantic city electric says hard hit greenwich township had 900 outages. last night only 400 as of this morning. elsewhere most largest blacked out neighborhoods finally back. in some cases crews battling outages door to door like this one replacing wires to an individual home much to the homeowners 38. greenwich's mayor continues to be critical of governor christie's response for request by local officials for a state of emergency declaration. at this news conference yesterday the town's republican mayor took on a tough stance comparing the current situation and governor christie's high profile response to shore damage post hurricane sandy. >> the governor repaid us by for getting us in our time of need. frankly, it's time governor christie paid attention to new

jersey's west coast. many of the towns on and near the delaware river are devastated. >> well, no response from the governor's office today to the mayor's broadside of yesterday. the governor is of course getting ready apparently to announce that he'll throw his hat in the ring for the gop nomination for president of the united states. in the meantime, atlantic electric says it will have "what it's calling the vast majority of those who are without power because of the tuesday storm back online tonight." that is its promise at this point in time. live in gibbstown, john recalls lynn. >> as john mentioned chris christie is joining the presidential race tomorrow. the new jersey governor will formally declare his candidacy at livingston high school his alma mater. he'll make his announcement at 11:00 a.m. we'll carry it live right here on 6abc. after he declares he'll head to new hampshire to campaign for the rest of the week. delaware county leaders

50's. that's the measure of how much moisture is in the atmosphere but these numbers will jump way back up into the upper 60's tomorrow meaning the humidity will return. double scan live radar showing the ohio and tennessee valley we have some downpours and thunderstorms that are developing some steer weather south of cincinnati. this whole system including a warm front will start to arrive in the afternoon hours tomorrow. so turns unsettled tomorrow, turning more humid as well. but there's no big jump in heat as we go through the rest of the week. we'll talk about the unsettledness for tomorrow nd let you know which areas could see downpours and storms coming up when i step back inside with that full accuweather forecast. >> thank you adam. the city of camden officially opened its public pools today. happy kids got to splash around for the first time this summer. mayor dana redd was at the north camden community center to kick off the season this morning. this is one of two public pools in camden. the sotted at the isabelle miller community center at e streets and carl miller boulevard.

>> the phillies began a new era today and for lots of fans that comes as welcome news. the team introduced a soon to be new president to lead that franchise moving forward. jaime apody live at citizens bank park. jamie this move has been rumored for some time. but dat team made it official. >> yeah, it will signal a change in the direction of the franchise from the top to the bottom. starts with the ownership group. john middleton is going to take more of a figurehead role for this ownership group that has been visible. andy mcfail has been hired as the team president. he'll take that helm starting in october. let's talk about mcfail phreaked s you see him a long time baseball executive who has turned around the orioles as president. he led the twins to two world series titles as gm but he has been out of baseball the last three years to travel the world after burning himself out. he says he's reenergy kneed. he'll spend the next six months as a special assistant to pat gillick and he sees plenty of potential here.

>> i know we all tend to look at things sort of in the snapshot of time. it's only natural. and right now the phillies snapshot is not that was great. even all those things as franchises accomplished over the last not too recent past, sort of gets faded in memory and looking at the current times but i really have to applaud this organization with the path that it's taken recently. i think it's the right path. >> we needed someone who had a proven track record of success. exactly what does that mean? to us the ideal candidate was someone who had won multiple world series titles but equally important had taken multiple teams over many years and successfully built them up and taken them to the post season. >> the question is what's the timetable for all this? he wouldn't give us a timetable but he does say that teams that commit to a full rebuild like the phillies are are rewarded for that and he has seen teams turn around

overnight from 60 wins to 90 winds. wins. the phillies have a lot of questions. mcfail while he won't make those decisions will be asked his opinion and he will provide it. as for gm ruben amaro jr. sounds like that decision won't be made until he fully takes notify october. he says he's not a guy that needs his own people under him. however, he will definitely look at everybody. we'll have much more from the park coming up at 5:30. live at citizens bank park, jaime apody channel6 "action news. >> jamie thanks very much. let's hope he is reenergized because that's a big job turning that ship around. time for the "action news" traffic report. >> movement in the phillies leadership. hopefully movement on the roads matt. >> i guess there's movement. it's just on the shoulder. last week we spent so much of the week nydia and brian cleaning up from those storms on tuesday night. this afternoon we're cleaning up from a different situation here in the northbound lanes of route one the super highway in bucks county. here's what happened. a tractor-trailer was coming

now. but we look to the west. you can see clouds increasing just to the east of pittsburgh rain also falling apart at the onset as it's pushing into that drier air. we are dealing with severe weather. you see a tornado watch for the parts of the ohio valley and also parts of kentucky. that does not slide in tonight. tonight just a few clouds, staying very comfortable, 60 to 66. that humidity will slowly start to increase tomorrow as a warm front arrives from the west so first thing tomorrow morning, it is brighter south and east and it is cloudier to the north and west. then we'll see those downpours and a few thunderstorms erupting tomorrow afternoon. this is at 4 o'clock. and again the target zone for tomorrow would be wilmington, philadelphia trenton all points north and west. if you're at the shore tomorrow, it should stay dry through much of the day with a mixture of sunshine and clouds. because you are farther removed from that warm front coming in from the south and west so it's brighter east, 85 degrees. those afternoon storms popping west. but if you're at the shore

tomorrow you hit the sand, a moderate risk for rip currents again. we've had many rescues over the last couple of days because of the choppy water so watch that. despite that it's 78 with sunshine and just a few clouds. and it's that southeasterly wind piling up that water at six to 12 miles an hour. the exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast, warm with some of those downpours and storms developing tomorrow. again mainly west of the city and 85. very humid with still thunderstorms and downpours around at 87 especially in the first half of the day on wednesday. and then thursday afternoon another system comes in, humid, 87 with some pop-ups around. we could squeeze friday out dry as of right now at 84 degrees but another system arrives in time for the fourth in the afternoon with some thunderstorm threats at 86 degrees. and then it dries outsin, partly sunny, 88 and warmer and more humid on monday of 89 degrees. so, it is rather unsettled as we go into the upcoming holiday weekend but neither one of those days is a complete washout. so we could salvage part of
