A house under construction in Philadelphia collapsed under the fury of a strong storm Tuesday afternoon sending four workers to the hospital, police said.
The three-story house — that was in the process of being framed out — tumbled down around 6 p.m. at Delaware and E. Columbia Avenues in the Fishtown section of the city. The collapse happened as winds gusted to more than 70 mph in the area.
Police said the workers were taken to Temple University Hospital and Hahnemann University Hospital with nonlife threatening injuries.
The violent storm left behind major damage in towns across the area. Trees landed on houses in Delaware County, Pennsylvania injuring two people and winds flipped a car outside the Deptford Mall.
