A tornado touched down in Allentown during Monday’s storms, the National Weather Service confirmed.

Cloudy skies Monday morning broke for some sunshine heading into the afternoon, warming temperatures into the mid to upper 80s. The warm and moist conditions led to severe weather with strong and damaging winds. Before the storms moved in, the NOAA Storm Prediction Center expanded much of our area to the"enhanced" risk, higher risk than we normally see in our area.

The second round moved in Monday afternoon and brought powerful winds, heavy rain and a potential tornado as storms developed from west to east of the Philadelphia region leading to widespread power outages and damage. The storms reached the Jersey Shore and Delaware beaches by 9 p.m. before moving out to sea by late Monday night.

A pickup truck near a wire caught fire in Philadelphia's Roxborough neighborhood after severe storms moved through the region Monday night.Mark Sanford's home was crushed by two large trees. He said the sky looked and sounded different and he had only seconds to react to get to safety. Bill Mock of Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, told NBC10 the storm lasted about three minutes in his neighborhood but was so severe that it knocked down large trees along Heyburn Road.Residents in Wyndmoor, Montgomery County, are still waiting for their power to be restored. NBC10's Deanna Durante spoke with neighbors who are frustrated by the waiting game.
