PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Mother Nature came in full force throughout the Delaware Valley Wednesday night after heavy rain drenched the region.

The water came in fast, and it wasn't just from the sky

Drivers were faced with some tough decisions as streets quickly flooded, and their cars started taking on water.

The storm also prompted three tornado warnings Wednesday night in Delaware and New Jersey, which have since expired.

Before the storm hit, residents spent the day cleaning up from Tuesday's severe weather that brought down trees across the region.
