NETHER PROVINCE TWP., Pa. (KYW Newsradio) — Many residents of Philadelphia's suburbs woke up Friday to quite mess left behind by Thursday's strong storms.
Driving around, especially in the neighborhoods, is a bumpy experience, with debris and tree branches scattered on the streets.
The storms took down this massive tree on this property on Pine Ridge Road in Nether Providence, Delaware County. The woman inside wasn’t hurt. But her brother this morning told us, “How different things could be, just by inches.” @KYWNewsradio pic.twitter.com/BbFZC4iif7

May 1, 2020 On Pine Ridge Road in Nether Providence, right off Baltimore Pike, an enormous tree, about 100 feet long, fell on the front of a house causing some damage. The base of the tree, a table of thick roots have a firm grasp on a slab of earth.
"How different things could be just by inches, coming one way or another," he said. "I don’t know if she realizes how lucky she actually was,' he said.
They are also without power — just like 14,000 other PECO customers. The majority, about 10,000 of those customers are in Chester County.
