Thousands without power across Philadelphia region after gusty storm
SEVERE WEATHER: Thousands of people are without power on Sunday night after a strong line of heavy downpours and gusty winds hit the region.

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Thousands of people are still without power Monday morning after a strong line of heavy downpours and gusty winds hit the region Sunday night.

In Lower Merion Township, Pennsylvania, strong winds toppled a tree onto a fence on Spring Mill Road near Woodmont Road. It appears that the tree landed in the road, blocking traffic, but luckily no one was injured.

In South Jersey, two rowhomes in Camden, New Jersey partially collapsed during the stormy weather.

Authorities say the front of the homes, which are abandoned, came crashing down at about 8:30 p.m. on the 400 block of Stevens Street.

There's no word if weather contributed to the collapse, but it happened as the rain and windy conditions moved through the area.

In Pennsauken Township, a warehouse on the 1700 block of Suckle Highway partially collapsed.
