Hurricane Erin impacts: Storm causes flooding on Columbus Blvd. at Penn's Landing in Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- As Hurricane Erin moves out deeper into the Atlantic Ocean, away from the East Coast, the impacts of the storm are being felt in Philadelphia, even without a drop of rain falling from the sky.

The force of all that extra water from the ocean backed into the Delaware Bay, adding to the high tide along the Delaware River Thursday night.
