Trees, power lines down in storm-ravaged Chester County; residents await power restoration [Video]

Alex Murphy had his work cut out for him in Wednesday’s uncomfortably hot temperatures.

“A few months back we lost this big tree here, 60 feet – fell across the entire yard, pretty much,” says Murphy. “I thought we were gonna’ luck out of the rest of the year, and unfortunately the storm was pretty bad.”
