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

CHADDS FORD, Pa.Last night’s severe storms left a mess to clean-up in certain parts of Chester County, as residents brace for more potential severe weather.

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

“This is going to take me the rest of the day to clean-up and probably the rest of the week honestly. It’s a lot,” says Murphy.

The yard along Parkersville Road in Chadds Ford was riddled with big branches, for the second time in three months.

“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.”

Further down Parkersville Road, downed trees and power lines made the road impassable. The hum of a generator could be heard from a home nearby.
