Residents in Chester County, Pennsylvania, started the cleanup process Wednesday after strong storms knocked down trees and took out power lines overnight.

Tuesday night’s storms brought down multiple trees and power lines, damaged homes and created a mess for commuters from Wilmington to Cheltenham. Areas in Chester County were some of the hardest hit as residents are still without power.

WEST CALN TWP., Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- A massive and historic black oak tree in Layton Park, West Caln Township, was no match for Mother Nature on Tuesday night when storms uprooted it, blocking a roadway. A utility pole and street sign were taken down, and just yards away, another large tree -- albeit much smaller -- was also knocked over.
