Summary
Philly took a brutal hit from microbursts Saturday—localized thunderstorms that brought down trees, snapped power lines, flooded streets, and even collapsed a building in West Philly. Mayor Cherelle Parker hit the ground running, touring damaged neighborhoods and declaring a state of disaster emergency as city, state, and federal agencies mobilize to restore services and support residents. Eleven Philly Housing Authority units suffered roof and water damage, with all residents safely evacuated to temporary shelters. Emergency crews also helped evacuate a private home. This wasn’t just Philly’s weather nightmare—across the nation, extreme conditions from heatwaves to wildfires underscore how unpredictable Mother Nature can be. Cleanup and recovery are underway as the city works to bounce back. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
