We had a couple of inches of rain and A LOT of wind batter us last night through this morning. There were many reports of flooding throughout the Philadelphia region and power outages. The roof of my old High School was torn up!

Washington Twp. HS in NJ is Damaged by Wind and Rains


by KYW's Ian Bush

A high school in Gloucester County, NJ will be closed on Tuesday after wind and rain damaged the building and led to an early dismissal for students on Monday.

One section of Washington Township High School in Sewell was evacuated on Monday when gusts ripped tiles and insulation from part of the roof and rain poured into classrooms.

The students were moved to the nearby arts center.

One school official thinks about 25 percent of the school's classrooms were unusable. As the damage is assessed and cleanup continues, classes at the school were canceled for Tuesday.

I left work in NJ around 1:30 yesterday PM, was worried about possible flooding on route 29, but it was not flooding there thankfully, the river was very high though. When I got to blue bell the creek was at street level and there were many trees that were down, but thankfully we didn't lose power.

It was very very very very very very nasty yesterday!!!
