Dozens of 200-year-old trees were completely uprooted or snapped in half during the storm.

Families in Delaware County are still cleaning up the destruction left behind by Monday's severe storms.

It's all a total loss after straight-line winds from Monday night's storms. We're getting a better look at the damage in Chadds Ford now that the roads and neighborhood driveways have been cleared."I had to crawl through the woods just to get back home, and that's when I came across all the trees and devastation," said neighbor Nick Hunter.

"One of the dangers we're still concerned with is called widow makers. There are still branches up in these trees that if they come down they could hurt people," said Timothy Boyce, the director of Delaware County Emergency Services.
