as Northeast braces for second round of storms.
'Storm complex triggered more than half a million power outages in Southeast Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
A line of vicious thunderstorms barreled through southeast Pennsylvania and southern New Jersey between midmorning and midday Wednesday, unleashing destructive gusts of 60 to 90 mph and knocking out power to more than half-a-million customers. The Philadelphia region caught the brunt of the storms, where wind damage was widespread in its western and eastern suburbs.
The National Weather Service warned of an extremely dangerous situation as the squall line approached the city and moved into New Jersey. It is very likely that the squall line met the criteria of a derecho, a fast-moving line of violent storms that produces widespread damage along its path.
The complex of fierce storms was the first of several possible rounds of storms for parts of the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic. The National Weather Service predicted additional storms Wednesday afternoon and evening which could bring damaging winds, hail, and even an isolated tornado. An active weather pattern will bring continued chances of strong to severe thunderstorms for many areas until at least Saturday.'>>>
