Now at 11, the big story on Action News is those strong storms have swept through the region tonight. This water spout was spotted in the Delaware Bay during the tornado warning in Cape May County. Several people were on the ferry when they saw it. We have live team coverage tonight, including the next chance for storms in the area. Right now, let's get a closer look at some of the havoc that hit various communities. Action News reporter Leland Pinder, live in Newark, Delaware, with that part of the story tonight. Leland. And Rick, right now, thousands of people still without power across Delaware. One woman told me she's just grateful to be okay after a tree came down on her house, but thankfully, it didn't come through the roof. Stunning video of a water spout in the Delaware Bay Tuesday as severe weather stirred up the atmosphere over water and land. I had no clue, really. I was kind of in shock. This massive oak tree fell on 91-year-old Kathy Patnovich's home in Newark around 5 p.m. on Bridal Brook Lane. The tree fell right on top of the sunroom where she'd been watching TV. In the room here, where you're sitting, like in the corner on that side, right there on the side. This was the scene across much of the Delaware Valley. This tree coming down at the Abbey Walk Apartments on Abbey Lane and in downtown Wilmington. Major thoroughfare saw flash flooding and some residential streets also turned into rivers. There's going to be trout fishing right out front. At its peak, Delmarva Power reported about 3,200 power outages and restoration is ongoing. We spotted several utility trucks and crews out across Newcastle County. At last check, the Del Giorno family didn't know when their power might be restored, and they'd already secured a generator once the storms let up. I was aware it was going to storm, but we did not think it was going to be as bad as it was. It turned really white, super windy, almost scary. We went down to the basement, power went out, and it's been like this ever since. On Decker Drive, neighbors worked together to shore up this massive tree that had blocked the road. Got everything cleaned up. Neighbors and friends pitching in during the cleanup. Richard Gibbs and his wife bringing Patnovich water, emergency lights, and keeping her company while she got everything sorted out. We're friends, though. Yeah, it's certainly good to have good neighbors and good friends in a situation like this. Thankfully, tonight, we're not hearing about any storm-related injuries, but officials here in Newcastle County are reminding folks to be cautious out on the roads as some hazards and trees and debris remain, even as conditions improve tonight.
