Wednesday night’s storm brought widespread flooding to some parts of the region. In King of Prussia, cars got stranded underneath a freeway overpass on Gulph Road as they tried to driver through floodwaters.
The poor conditions also prompted water rescues and triggered crashes, and powerful winds ripped parts of the roofs of various homes.
