Several parts of Pennsylvania, including Philadelphia, experienced steamy and stormy conditions Thursday evening as powerful storms swept through the region.
In Blue Bell, a tree fell onto a car with a family inside. Fortunately, no injuries were reported.
In Chester County, the storm also triggered a house fire on Westbourne Road in Westtown Township. Officials said no one was injured and believe the home was unoccupied at the time. While the fire appears to be weather-related, the exact cause remains under investigation.
