Summary
Philly took a brutal hit from explosive microbursts Saturday, toppling trees, snapping power lines, and even collapsing a building in West Philly—sending bricks flying and disrupting trolleys. Mayor Cherelle Parker hit the ground running, declaring a state of disaster emergency as city, state, and federal agencies unite to restore services and aid residents. Eleven PHA housing units suffered roof and water damage, with all residents safely evacuated to temporary shelters. Emergency crews also rescued families from a private home. This storm was part of a nationwide severe weather surge, with heatwaves, floods, and wildfires raging elsewhere. Cleanup and recovery efforts are underway, with the community’s well-being at the heart of the response. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
