Ten days after a series of severe storms known as microbursts hit parts of South and West Philadelphia, some are still picking up the pieces. Meanwhile, more severe weather is possible<\/a> Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

People on Malvern Avenue in Wynnefield said they’re worried about the next storm.<\/p>\n

That’s because this neighborhood dealt with a 1-2 punch earlier this month with storms on July 4<\/a> and July 11<\/a> that knocked down trees and power lines.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Naziyah Wadley said the July 4 storm caused a tree to go through her mom’s car windshield. One week later, the microbursts sent another tree into a row of homes on her street.<\/p>\n

“It fell on the whole roof. It broke her whole fence and everything. She couldn’t even come out the house. She was stuck inside,” Wadley said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In West Philadelphia, Naeesha Turner and her family have been displaced since July 11.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She said a tree in her neighbor’s yard fell onto her property, taking down wires, breaking a window and damaging her roof.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Turner said the tree was removed Saturday, six days after the storm, but she still doesn’t have power, and she’s waiting on her insurance company before she can start repairs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“It’s ten days later, we have more storms coming, and I’m just like, what is me and my family supposed to do?” Turner said.<\/p>\n

After hosting resource centers for the past three days for people affected by the storms, a city spokesperson said officials received 443 requests for assistance from residents. The Office of Emergency Management said it has reviewed nearly 1,000 damage reports submitted by residents.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The city is working with PECO, the Red Cross and the state on recovery efforts. Residents can report damage in their neighborhoods through a form called the OEM damage reporter<\/a>.<\/p>\n
