7:02 am
another accident, further south down here near bridge street. but looking at the sun glare this morning, you would never guess that we had major storm roll through here last night. patco high spieth line, service suspended, through the morning rush hour. >> no trains coming into philadelphia, a lot of extra volume on the brennan the walt whitman bridge. not bad. i'm kind of surprise that we don't have a jammo already on the benny. maybe folks are finding alternates, maybe just thinking, you know what? we'll work from home here this morning. septa regional rail line, an update, media elwin line, service remains suspended, fox chase line, first train has already left 30th street, heading west. however, the first train coming into philadelphia, will leave fox chase, at 7:44 this morning. the paoli thorndale line, service only operating between the malvern station and center city, this morning. the norristown high-speed
7:03 am
line, service suspended, norristown, over to radnor. check the system status. go to septa.ornament click on your bus or trolley route. you will be able to see if there are any detours locally in the neighborhoods. >> respect the closures, they're therefore reason, a lot of the power crews are out there, they got the guys up in the cherry pickers, making repairs to the overhead power lines. and that's the reason the street are blocked. atlantic city rail line, service suspended. amtrak, all aboard, running regular schedule, probably with some minor delays. and the keystone line, that's the line that runs from philly out to harrisburg, and that's running with 45 minute delays, this morning, mike, alec, back to you. >> 7:03. man, we have a reporters all over the place, because there is damage all over the place. why don't we -- jen any glen mills this morning, several trees down. >> and steve's in south jersey. you want to start with jenny? >> we start with jenny.
7:04 am
>> route one northbound, traffic slowing, even though still allowing traffic to passalong northbound lanes here, there are several obstacles in the way. there are some trees down, some power lines down, across the roadway. it is an absolute mess. and on the southbound side, cars are not getting through at all. because there are trees down everywhere, it is normally a busy road, it is a main road. well, it is not an option for commuters this morning on the southbound side. we are told, it is likely this way for about 2 miles, you can see, cars, that were left here, they were stranded in the southbound lanes last night. can only imagine what they were going through. what it was like it drive-thru here last night, as the storm forced it way through, trees came crashing down, power lines, pulled apart. we said in the last half hour, again, that peco crews have been making some headway, but still, 80,000 people are in the dark in delaware county alone, last night, the winds forced these trees down,
7:05 am
70 miles an hour, mike, alex? >> my goodness. okay, 80,000 still. >> wow. >> close to 200,000 in the area are without power. >> so we get to steve keeley, washington township, area hit pretty bad last night, look at all of the polls down. >> hey, steve? >> this is the biggest south jersey suburb, biggest high school in all of south jersey in washington township, some of the sites of the power lines down are just amazing, and the problem is the pse&g atlantic electric crews are so busy they haven't even gotten to the worst things yet here. look at this, here is a site you don't see. power pole now sitting out of double yellow lines. and the top of the power pole is where the electric lines are. and you can see, that tree trunk smoking in the back gown, pulling down all of these lines, coincidentally the name of this road with all of the green trees down, greentree road right off the black horse pike. we're only about two minute drive from where we were at the bad intersection, every
7:06 am
intersection bad now, every gas station shutdown, people running out of gas, and so, they have no power, at their homes, and no gas in their cars. seeing gas lines, that we haven't seen since the 70s, one gas station with power generators, chris, let's do the walk we talked about, had a line at least half mile long. all of the police are working their butts off. they didn't go home at the end of their shift. now pulling a double shift. not just over time, so all of these guys have been on since yesterday afternoon, before the storm hit. what i'm showing you now is this long line, a train, of tree removal crews, these crews have sat here, they can't remove the trees until the power lines are powered down for sure, 110% sure, these guys don't want to get electrocuted. so they're waiting for power company to come here from maryland now, we're told, on loan, because all of the local jersey crews, this is what they do, jersey guys will go to maryland when necessary,
7:07 am
but maryland aroid dollars this storm little south of here. >> trees down everywhere, just trying to get anywhere. we are talking about the morning commute, right? no lights? morning commute will be at least triple time. to make left turn, where we were, we had to make three right turns, and then chris had to give that engine that we have on the fox 29 vehicle, everything it had. maybe we could out run the hillary clinton skooby doo bus? this is the greatest guy in the worldsment tell us incredible stories about incredible stupidity of people. we go to location 7:30, i'll gave you a hint, transformer swinging like a bell, in the middle of the road. it is suspended along with street lamp. there was line of 200 cars, one guy gets out of his car and says hey can i drive under that? he actually asked. that will he asked that question, as he sees the power
7:08 am
lines that are hot and two cop cars there closing off the road. so, don't drive under power lines. really say don't drive-thru deep water, alex, mike, do not drive under power lines either. >> no. >> because you got to treat every downed power line like it is live, because the power companies haven't even gotten to all of the power lines down yet. >> truement look at those lines right there. all right, it will take a long time. 7:08. let's get back to the city now, because crews, apparently, have to inspect billy penn's head. >> yes, because billy penn was hit by lightning, last night. >> big time. >> so this is while we're on air being look at that, bolt of lightning struck the statue. viewers tweeted us, my gosh; billy penn okay? so we reached out to the mayor's office, they say they are not aware of any damage at this point, but will make sure a little later this morning. >> okay. boy, direct strike on the ben franklin bridge. boom. great video, shows another lightning bolt touching down, as the storm moved through philadelphia, last night.
7:09 am
>> we were talking about this little earlier, mike. lightning looked so fixed last night. >> a lot of times it will be like little veiny lightning, but it was very sustained, would be up for a long time. >> almost like sauce or something? >> very powerful. storms have left so many people without power, the numbers starting to go down little bit. >> so peco's reporting 187,000 people are still without power. ac electric report one ooh thousand customers are without power. and pse&g have over 46,000 people in our area, burlington, camden, gloucester counties without power. >> actually that 187 is down to about 170 now, as jenny just reported, in her report. we'll change that graph nick just a second. >> i'm sure numbers are constantly updating. >> for sure. hopefully all going down. here is a look at what else is making news this morning, police investigating the deadly shooting in the fair hills section of north philadelphia, it happened after front street around
7:10 am
shortly before 11:00 last night. police say it looks like there was a shoot-out. the victim was shot in the chest. he was taken to temple hospital, and he was pronounced dead there. and firefighter suffers minor injuries, battling fire in southwest, flames broke out at a storefront on the 6300 block of woodland avenue, i guess southwest philly shortly before midnight. firefighter taken to fitzgerald hospital with minor injuries. crews had the fire under control nearly hour later. no word of the cause yet. of course, they don't investigate that until the following days. >> well convicted boston bomber tsarnaev -- toy dzhokhar, dozen victims expected to be in that courtroom, and possibly, speak at the hearing. >> tsarnaev convicted in april, three killed, more than 260 injured, when he and his late brother detonated two

pressure cooker bombs near the finish line. tsarnaev allowed to speak but it is not sure if he will. >> autopsy of gray get leaked to the baltimore sun. the medical examiners report says freddie gray died from high energy injury. the 25 year old suffered a fatal spinal injury after he was arrested back in april. according to the report, gray likely rose to his feet while in the back of a van, and was likely flown into the wall during a quick turn or change in direction. six officers had been charged with gray's death. how can they know for sure? interesting. back to this story. >> officials say dna found at new york hunting cabin 20 miles from the prison matches escape killers david sweat and richard matt. more than a thousand law enforcement officers from state, local, and federal agencies, are manning roadblocks, and searching the trails, and also, rales for signs of the inmate. >> they have been out that far jail for over 20 days now,

dylann roof. and a separate bond hearing is expected to be held the next couple days for the nine murder charges against him. >> 7:13. south carolina law makers have voted in flavored of considering removing the confederate flag from the state crap toll grounds. >> gained steam in the wake of those shootings, in charleston. so, demonstrators gathered at the capitol in columbia, yesterday. demanding the flag come down, on monday. south carolinea, and the governor, came out in favor of moving the flag and putting in a museum. some other protesters say they didn't want it to come down yesterday. south carolina lawmakers will debate later this sum near special session, both chambers have to agree for it to be removed. critics of the flag say it is a symbol of racism, while supporters say it is about southern heritage. there are still some people hanging onto that flag.
7:14 am
almost 7:14. >> well, louisianna governor, enter 2016 presidential race today. he will make his official announcement tonight in new orleans, pulling in 15th place, behind other presidential contenders, and if you have been keeping count, that's dead last. >> that would be last. and you have to be in the top ten in polling to make it into the first debate this summer. >> us ambassador, an us ambassador, reportedly summoned to the french foreign ministry after wikileaks claimed the nsa spied on french presidents. three of them. the french are steamed. according to the latest dodgement release, american agent speeds on three french presidents between 2006 and 2012. so, the current french president, has reportedly organized an emergency meeting of his country's defense council. they want answers. all countries spy on other
7:15 am
countries, it is just weird when they find out about it. >> that's right. do you have keep it secret. that's the thing. >> yes, but with wikileaks around, nothing's secret. >> here's sue. >> it is 7:15,. >> yes, and getting amazing pictures, in twitter. look at this, right after the storm, in the middletown township, which is right outside of media, delaware county. it was an amazing sunset. but boy was it loud. right before that, thanks to tony for that. so many local storm report from throughout the region, most notably, frontal -- funnel cloud report of people seeing funnel clouds in the sky, not all of them necessarily touched down. and the weather service will be out investigating these report, throughout the day today, to find out if we did have a confirmed tornado there. was one in philadelphia, one in chester, in delaware county, west berlin, in new jersey, jenkintown, pa, and blue bell, also, out there in chester county. or montgomery county i should
7:16 am
say. satellite and radar picture showing is out of here. all moved down to the south. and, they are still getting some thunderstorms around nags head, outer banks of north carolina, next storm system to watch is in the midwest, with some strong thunderstorms expected in illinois and eventually indianna, place that is got hit the other day. and eventually, some that far will move our way and stall, which means, we have unsettled weather in store for the weekend. but today looks fabulous, tomorrow starting out pretty fabulous, not until the evening hours that the showers start to roll n then it get little loud, perhaps to the south of us, thursday night into early friday morning. by the time we're setting up shop around lucy the elephant in margate friday morning, things should calm down, left over showers, hoping to get most that far out of there, have dry morning on friday, but few more showers possible in the afternoon, and that's the deal for the weekend. few showers here and there,
7:17 am
but not entirely a wash out. we can promise you cooler temperatures this weekend, in fact, 07 degrees right now, 70, 72, high temperatures saturday, sunday, and enjoy the 59 degrees in mount pocono right now. sixty-five in reading. sixty-eight in dover. we're at 70 in wildwood. so comfortable morning, dryer morning, humidity gone away, or at least it has been reduced since yesterday's storm. 7-mile per hour winds, and out of the northwest. so, it was off initial case you missed it, but we new it would happen, eventually first heatwave of 2015. three days in a row, 90 degrees or above, sunday, monday, and yesterday. today, no 90s. 86 degrees the high temperature, there you see cooper temperatures, whole new weather pattern moving in, starting friday, and lasting through saturday, sunday, then we go back to warming trend, as we get into the middle of next week. but, a nine the out of ten today, bob kill. plenty of sun glare for you
7:18 am
out there. >> definitely, 7:17. we make it 7:18, good morning, everybody, here we go, beginning of the delay on the ben franklin bridge, as we've been watching here, again, with the patco high-speed line, service suspended, all the folks, that typically will use the high-speed line, into philly, the train that comes over the benny, using at mat means, that means, car, maybe carpooling, using the walt whitman bridge, the betsy ross, or maybe just calling it a day and saying oh, i will use personal day, work from home, plug in the old laptop. a lot of intersections, without power, therefore the traffic light out. here is a big one here, example, 26 and penrose. officers on the scene here, at this intersection, for everybody that comes off the platt bridge. coming in toward philadelphia. if you are headed to the airport, check with airline first, a loft flights were either diverted or canceled yesterday, during the height of the storm. mt. laurel, new jersey, mt. laurel road right at elbow lane, downed trees, again, respect the detours, that are posted there. you may not see the truck
7:19 am
working along that stretch, but as steve and jenny showed us with hundreds every downed trees, some of the wires could still be hot, that are across the roadway, portions of route one, still block off here, in media, delaware county, light out, the boulevard at the oxford circle. here in south jersey ramps from route 55 to 47, block, ramps from 73 to 130 blocked in pennsauken, same deal along route 70 at springdale road. patco service suspended for at least the morning rush hour. fingers cross that we get something going for the afternoon. but at least getting there this morning, the media elwin line, service still suspendedment fox chase, good news, the first train leaves the fox street station coming into philadelphia, at 7:44, and the rest of the rail lines are operating, but probably with some minor delays. >> question for you. what's the worse? traffic light that's not on at all, or one in fishtown that

7:32 am
much better, 86 degrees, pretty nice afternoon, with all of the sunshine. sunset time is 8:33. but, things will be changing in time for the weekend. we will talk about it coming up in just a few. hi, bob kelly. >> good morning, halfway to the weekend, 7:32, as i said on a wednesday, problems, this morning, for mass transit commuters. the big issue is the patco high-speed line. service suspended this morning, for the rush hour, due to lack of power. so, no trains coming across the benny, into downtown philly. added extra volume on the bridge itself, folks using their cars, to work their way in toward philadelphia. here is a live look at the ben franklin bridge, itself, also, extra heavy volume on both the betsy and walt whitman bridges. now, the rest of the regional rail lines, how it shapes up. septa says no service this morning on the media elwyn regional rail line. the fox chase line, first train leaving fox chase, rolls out, at 7:44. the rest of the regional rains are operating and just expect some delays. the paoli thorndale line,
7:33 am
service only operating between malvern and the center city station. the norristown high-speed line, service suspended between norristown and radnor. your best bet, if you use the buses, the trolleys or the trains, go to the system status button on septa.org, you can pick your bus route and be able to see if there is a detour along that route. the new jersey transit ac rail line service is suspended, amtrak, they're running regular schedule, some minor delays, the the keystone running with 45 minute delays. checking out the damage, start with the washington township steve keeley on the roadway there. hey, steve. >> everywhere we drive in this town, just devestation, trees in the houses, power lines down, and i say this constantly, nobody's even at a lot of the power lines, meaning, there is present danger, here's what i was talking about at 7:05. this street light is only about as high as an s.u.v. roof. it doesn't have to be one of the bigger suv's. look at the dangling
7:34 am
transformer, the top of the power line, where the electric lines are. this tree down electric lines going this way. this is independence play, not the two condo buildings across washington square park from you, mike, independence play rid on johnson. see the barricades, up there? people are driving around that barricade, and i videotaped this, i'll get this video back, doing exactly what officer kearse told us he was telling people not to do, and they were asking permission. can they drive under here? people are going around the barricade, like it is not therefore any reason, and they're driving under this, barely touching the street light, not realizing the danger. there is no power company here. the police couldn't just sit here and stay here because they are so busy everywhere he will, working 16 hours so far, and counting. soap, a big danger here, i can hear a generator humming in the back gown. good thing, since the power out, power lines are not charged, no the hot.
7:35 am
but you can't treat it that wayment look even further down the street. look at that tree sitting on top of the power lines. so we're in one location just spinning around like a basketball player pick up his dribble with a pivot foot and look at all of the devestation we can show you just on this one corner here, in this big suburb of washington township gloucester county. this is walkable to the black horse pike where all of the lights are out. mike, i did pass the gas station that has generators going, the line was as far as i could see. no road rage in the line at the gas station, one that's open. so if you're a gas station owner, you invest in generators, chances are they'll pay off before lunchtime. >> that's for sure, the long lines for gasoline. my goodness. all right, 7:35, we'll get back to you in a second. i have a completely different question for you. >> okay? >> would you like to have a knife in your house that would you never have to sharpen again? >> all right, sound good to me. we'll tell you the four products that will make your life easier.
7:36 am
like what's so special about this highlight? >> oh, we'll tell you. i want one. ♪ i've been drivin' a lincoln since long before anybody paid me to drive one. ♪ i didn't do it to be cool. i didn't do it to make a statement. i just liked it. ♪ lease an mkc for $329 a month plus competitive owners and lessees get $500 bonus cash, only at your lincoln dealer.

8:46 am
year done of his house? >> almost murphy's law, when something like that happens, and i think that besides long lines for gas in new jersey, it will be long wait to get ahold of your insurance agent this morning. the claims department, i have a feeling, it will be tough to get a call in. here's another one, my backyard in turner ville, new jersey, thanks so much for tweeting thaws picture, sore bye. that will boy, just been so much destruction with these storms last night. luckily, things have calmed down today. we've got high of 86 for today, nine out of ten, eight a for tomorrow, most of tomorrow, should be fine. really not until the evening that we see some showers move in, few showers, around on friday, and just kind of unsettled over the weekend of the not a wash out. but definitely in a whole new water pattern after heatwave that ended yesterday. highs only in the 70s, both saturday, and sunday. and then, starts to warm up by the middle of next week. so, a lot of ups, downs, in this weather and dramatic
8:47 am
changes ahead. >> very dramatic, sue. 8:46. >> okay, we talk about some products that are really problem solvers for you, i mean, we talk about the knife that sharp earns itself, or a rug that you don't have to clean. >> yep, steve, save us, steve? >> reporter: good morning to you guys, dozens of products come across my desk each month. these four are real problem solvers, my favorite kind. products that let you say, you no what, don't worry about this any more. we got you covered. starting with that set of knives in your kitchen, the biggest problem we all have, who on earth actually sharpens their knives, as often as they should, right? well, from the folks at caflon sharpen no more, new self sharpening, sharp in technology, built in, to the butcher block. if you look real close, in here, actually a set of ceramic sharpeners, built in to each one, so every time oint is her or withdraw the knife it, sharp earns it at exactly the right ankle. starts 129, cha it cost us for this particular set, goes to
8:48 am
up 279 bucks. simple idea, great problem solver. same about this next one, sharpee clearview, thinking okay, what's so special about a highlighter? check out the video we have for you. let me explain what's going on here. this is the first sharpee, or first highlight err, that has a clear stem. why would you need that? well, now you can see, through the device, so you can see the words on the paper, and now, you know, when to stop highlightingment back out here live, let me show you an example, when in college, highlighting on textbook, a mess. now take a look here, you can see right through it you know exactly where the words end, where your words end, highlighting is perfect. right? >> okay, but let's talk about the rugs. no more expensive rug cleaning. no more calling the guys out taught how the, in more renting machines. unlike any other rug, called rugable. here's what makes it so consumer friendly. actually, two parts. so you can peel off the top
8:49 am
design part, and throw it right in the wash. so if you have got this in a kids room, in a play room, in a high traffic area, you don't have to worry about having to get it cleaned all the time. again, the top layer just peels right off. the other neat thing about this because you use this one non-stick pad for the floor, you can change out the top layer, seasonally, or give the room a different look without having to worry about buying entire new rug. these start at about $99, i believe that's for the smaller runner. finally for you, the product on shark tank, big fan that far show, this is called the scrub daddy. and here's why it is real problem so far. err. flesh texture cleaning sponges watch it means is. >> this the pollen this is made out of actually responds to temperature, so when i dip this in warm water it becomes very soft. good grade for delicate jobs. when i dip it in cold water becomes very firm for those hard or tough jobs. so things like scrubbing maybe the rims on your car, would you do that with a cold water solution.
8:50 am
then the nice thing about there is all gentle cleaning. i also love the scrub little mouse here great for, you know, cleaning maybe spoon, or knife, something that has two sides, that you want to clean out at once, don't have to wire about it, instead of eight of those, 25 bucks, come in all different configuration cents depending what kind of cleaning needs you have. links to all of these products right now, they are real problem solvers. on your station website. >> you can put silver spoon in it mouth. steve, there you go. as always. >> somebody on twitter just contacted me, did i miss the best pizza in the county from. >> someone tweeted me, no, we haven't revealed it yet. restaurant right here in philly, though. >> best in the country? >> it beat out new york and chicago? >> take that, fish faces.
