Storm Hits Tri-State Area Hard | Philadelphia News

A brutal storm tore through Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware Tuesday night, toppling trees, shredding power lines, and shutting down schools — including a dramatic incident in Mantua where a tree branch smashed through a home. With more severe storms looming for Wednesday night into Thursday, residents are urged to stay alert. Lightning sparked fires in Exeter, roads were blocked by fallen giants in Sadsbury Township, and over 20,000 lost power in Chester County. Even Delaware felt the ripple — a charter school in Wilmington closed due to outages affecting thousands. Nature’s fury reminds us how fast life can unravel when the sky turns angry.
