PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Several towns in the Philadelphia area have been hit with flooding this Sunday afternoon. One viewer captured several cars submerged as the rainstorm came through Wayne, Pennsylvania, near South Wayne avenue and Runnymede Avenue. He also captured some flooding, the next town over, in Devon along Old Eagle School road.
CBS News Philadelphia meteorologists labelled today as a NEXT Weather Alert day early this morning with severe storms expected throughout the area. Chief meteorologist Bill Kelly says it continues to be a very active afternoon with multiple Flash Flood Warnings as of 3:15 p.m, and the entire Delaware Valley is under both a severe thunderstorm and Flood Watch.
