Severe Storm Hits East Coast | Dover News

Saturday night’s Fourth of July turned wild out east as a fast-moving severe thunderstorm slammed Delaware, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey with 60-mph winds, threatening roofs, trees, and power lines. The National Weather Service urged everyone to seek shelter in interior rooms, avoid electronics and plumbing, and stay away from windows—because thunder means lightning’s close. If caught in a car, keep windows shut and don’t touch metal: your vehicle can act as a Faraday cage. The storm passed in a few hours, but it’s a stark reminder that even during celebrations, nature can strike—and staying informed is your best defense.
