Recent severe thunderstorms have wreaked havoc in the Philadelphia region, leaving over 275,000 residents without power and causing significant storm damage across Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Populations in areas such as Bucks County, Delaware County, and Philadelphia have reported downed trees, power lines, and extensive cleanup efforts underway. The National Weather Service confirmed that straight line winds, rather than a tornado, were responsible for much of the damage. In the aftermath, crews are working tirelessly to restore power, clear roadways, and address the dangerous conditions caused by fallen trees and debris. As recovery continues, thousands remain affected by outages, with some projections indicating that power restoration could take multiple days.
