VIDEO/PHOTOS: Severe storms brought down trees and knocked out power across the Philadelphia region on Tuesday night, and possibly caused an apartment fire that left several people displaced in South Jersey.
Now, clean-up is underway across the area after the wild weather brought down trees and wires.
Tree damage can be seen near the Conshohocken home of Richard Miskinis, where he's lived for nearly 50 years. As the storm brewed Tuesday night, he rushed to his porch to stow his cushions, some of which were already scattered on the lawn. "I jumped down and got those and then there was a big crash and a flash, and this come down and hit the power line," he described. "It's a mess. I'm looking for electricity." A tree fell on top of a Starbucks store at Academy Road and Grant Avenue in Northeast Philadelphia.
