Seek shelter because thunderstorms blacked the sky and turned day into night. Look at these pictures. And then the dark sky exploded with flashes of lightning. And they let loose a curre current torrent of rain. And the check of stormtracker live radar, and here is meteorologist cecily tynan. Cecily, a tough night. It certainly was. The storms were intense. Double scan live showing we dont have any Severe Weather now. We just have a cluster of some downpours working off the coast. But if you consider this morning the early storms and this evening, this zone in yellow, this is the rainfall totals. And this is where we had anywhere from 24 inches of rain. And that caused flash flooding. The flash flood warnings just expired. And we also had a lot of wind damage. Winds this afternoon, 68 Miles Per Hour bringing a lot of trees down. We also had wind damage in trenton, mount holly, northeast philadelphia. A lot of areas reporting hail. And hail as big as nickels. It did provide temporary relief. The heat index at 7 00 before the storms in philadelphia 104. By 8 00, 75. Dont get used to it. I will talk about the return of heat and humidity and more storms on the way in the full accuweather sevenday forecast. Jim . Thank you, cecily. More weather issues here. Reporter Wendy Saltzman told us how flooding game a serious issue, even requiring some rescues. The storm moved in fast and furious, leaving thousands without power and others stuck, stranded in rising waters. Torrential rain pounded center city streets. The driver found himself stuck in the middle of rushing water. Driving through, the water was so high i didnt notice it. And the rain began to slowli slowlily wane. And letting them know it is a flash flood zone. And toppling trees and on to roads in bucks county. 36,000 without power. In bensalem, several got stalled in a flash flood beneath an overpass. And passengers were rescued by fire and police. In northeast philly. Basements soaked as stormwater gushed inside of their home. And screaming my husbands name. The basement was flooded. When we came down we couldnt hardly walk. We found our dog swimming. Rain moved in and then quickly rolls out, and then rolls in again. The hope is that it will be gone before the delegates leave the d. N. C. Tonight. Tonights storms chased protesters aware from f. D. R. Park but not after a long day of exercising their right to assemble and voicing their opposition. And chad pradelli with the story. After Mother Nature unleashed rain and lightning, the park was eerily quiet. [chanting] part of the ebb and flow of democracy in free speech. Earlier hundreds of Bernie Sanders supporters marched to f. D. R. We are fired of hope and politics. Top to bottom, left to right it doesnt matter what party, democrats, republicans, money corrupted our political system. Weve had enough. The crowds were spars for much of the day. Extreme heat a factor. As the ominous clouds moved in the thunderous support of the green party candidate, jill stein, could be heard across the park. We have not done a sufficient job about describing capitals and the Economic System intend on destrike the planet. It appears we did not see the hases in f. D. R. , mainly because of the weather. Again, there are three more days of the d. N. C. At f. D. R. Park chad pradelli for action news. And walter perez covering it and there when dozens were cited. They arrived at the Wells Fargo Center by several different routes, endorsing any number of issues. The hundreds of protesters mostly seemed to share not just a devotion to Bernie Sanders, but also a destain for Hillary Clinton. And i think Hillary Clinton is the weakest link and donald trump can beat her. And demanding the removal of the Mississippi State flag including the confederate banner. They removed it a short time later. People were issued code for conduct. And the real concern is making sure people are safe under the oppressive conditions. It is very hot out here. Not as many people as there was out here yesterday with this group. But very humid, very hot. So were worried about everybody out here. With that said, several reports of protesters collapsing under the heat. Police officials tell us that those folks are expected to fully recover. Reporting for channel 6 action news. And another story here, growing concern that the russian government is trying to tamper with the president ial election. Sources are telling abc news that officials believe that russian operatives hacked the d. N. C. Computer system and leaked the damaging emails and now the f. B. I. Is investigating the emails that appear to show that the Democratic Committee favored the Hillary Clinton campaign. And that led to the resignation of that woman, Debbie Wasserman schultz today. Coming up, star power. The d. N. C. Bringing in actors, actresses, and billionaires to join in the convention atmosphere. Plus, are you ready for some football . All eyes on carson wentz as the eagles open Training Camp. And Ducis Rodgers with that story. And meteorologist cecily tynan returns with more on our week of heat when action news continues from the Democratic National convention. If we want to welcome you back to our continuing Convention Coverage from the Wells Fargo Center in south philadelphia, which is the epicenter of the political world this week. And this is the view from inside as the first night, which was really a raucous night, has come to a close. Hillary clinton must not only unite her own party, which has showed renewed signs of division, but also overcome a dislike among many voters of all stripes. And according to a new poll she is going to have a tough time. The cnn orc survey shows that donald trump has a significant postconvention bounce leading clinton among registered voters, a gain of 6 points from the last poll that had trump before the convention, but still technically within the margin of error making this a statistical dead heat. Obviously donald trump has improved his standing in the cnn poll. Trump and mike pence at the campaign trail today, the pair were in North Carolina tonight. They attended a rally in winston, salem about an hour from where Hillary Clinton spoke today. And the protesters are protesting. And Bernie Sanders is going crazy right now. And he doesnt know what to do. And he is losing his legacy, because he has just sort of given up. I always tell my kids, never give up. Never ever give up, and bernie has given up. And trump and pence campaigned in virginia, the home state of Hillary Clintons runningmate. And the political world colliding with hollywood and plenty of star sighting going on at the convention. And Christie Ileto live in the media center with the celebrity beat. Christie, who have you seen . Whats going on . Jim, we spot add lot of people from dawson to danny glover. And whether the people were on the stage or hitting among the delegates cheering, the start of this convention has some strong star power. Boyz to men kicked off the convention. And star powered glittered throughout the floor. Spotting Academy Award winner susan supporting Bernie Sanders. But little to say after dominating headlines for ripping the d. N. C. I already talked and had everything taken out of context. And kendrick standston says it is his first convention. What do you think of being here . Its different. Different than anything i have ever experienced. The billionaire philanthropist sums it up. People are generally fired up to go after this election, to beat donald trump and to elect Hillary Clinton. Congressman john lewis posed for pictures, while new york mayor shook hands in the hall. How are you liking philadelphia . I have always loved philadelphia. Philadelphia is basically where American History got its start. And now we are at a convention where history will be made again, with the first woman elected president of the united states. I love that circle of life. Surprisingly, some of these stars were a little camera shy. We also got to see ashley judd inside of the convention on our way out. But the big thing is that this is just the beginning, night one and there will be a lot more people coming in. Its just the beginning, thank you. Tomorrow we are looking ahead to the role call of state, the role call of delegates where Hillary Clinton will officially be nominated and then the prime time speech from her husband, former president , bill clinton.

We go to meteorologist cecily tynan and the latest from accuweather. Severe weather is out of here, but our heat wave continues. Double scan live showing we still have some lingering downpours, just working off the coast. Surf city south of atlantic city, this is moving out. We also had lots of lightning, thousands of lightning strikes and ray posted this on my facebook page, it kind of takesor breath away. And also takes a lot of power. A lot of people without electricity tonight. Coming off a day when you really needed air conditioning. Philadelphia, allentown, reading and wilmington. Record highs, trenton close 94 degrees. And dewpoints in the 70s, the heat index, really the highest levels we saw in years. Philadelphia, i guess you can say we were feeling the burn today. It felt like 109. Millville 107. Allentown and reading heat index 104, and dover 114. Now this front that moved through that produced the severe storms is basically a dewpoint front. Behind the system it is still hot tomorrow with temperatures in the mid 90s. Dewpoints dropping into the 60s in the afternoon. The heat index showing its going to be brutally hot tomorrow. But instead of a heat index above 100, were looking at just shy of 100. So the heat continues, but not quite as brutal. At least a little relief on the way. The exclusive accuweather sevenday forecast still hot, still humid, but not as oppressive as today. 95 degrees. We keep 95 wednesday and thursday, right through the d. N. C.

Only fios can. Ducis rodgers, lets be honest, there are some eagles fans more interested in what was going on a couple of blocks from here than what was going on here. The first day of the football season. And they are very interested in the number three quarterback. New coach, same quarterback, at least for now, and plenty of intrigue of how good the eagles will be this season. The birds opened Training Camp this morning. Sam bradford has 40 days before the opener against cleveland. And how many days before carson wentz is a starter . That is anyones guess. The rookie says it is not his concern. It is totally out of my control. We have a long camp ahead of us and a lot of work to put in, and i am focusing on helping the team get better and myself getting better, and i can guarantee when my number is called i will be ready to go.

Before we spoke at the convention jim kenney hosted a meeting for the mayors, and at the beer garden in center city. Apologizing for the hot weather jokingly saying it is one of the few things he cant control in this city. Jimmy kimmel live next, and his guests are Danny Mcbride. And for the entire Action News Team im jim gardner live at the d. N. C. , good night. Tonight Danny Mcbride. From disneys petes dragon, Bryce Dallas Howard. Matt damon and jimmy go to therapy. And music from prophets of rage. With cleto and the cletones. And now, stay right where you are, heres jimmy kimmel [ cheers and applause ] jimmy im jimmy, im the host of the show. Thank you for watching. Thanks to all of you for coming. Thank you. For braving the blistering heat to be here. Man is it hot. This whole country is like a greasedup George Foreman grill and a vikram yoga class. Authorities are urging those in areas where heat is intense to stay indoors, unless you have a chance to catch a wiggly tuft in your neighborhood. Its going to be 96 in philadelphia where the Democratic National convention is happening. The theme for the democrats today was, united together. Which really is the best way to be unite d, together. So much better than being united apart. United together it was not. After the Republican Convention last week dnc was supposed to be the boring one. It was quite the opposite. Every time Hillary Clintons name was mentioned there were boos from Bernie Sanders fans. Some of these people are apparently unaware Bernie Sanders passed away six weeks ago. [ laughter ] even bernie had to ask his supporters to calm down. After a year of telling them not to calm down. Its like chef boyardee telling people to take it easy on the ravio ravioli, it doesnt work. Usually these conventions are a cheerleading event but Bernie Sanders supporters booed inside the convention and out. Now taking on a level of civil disobedience to block the delegates from coming into this one particular entrance, as you can see, they are laying down in front of the entrance. They are letting police through and the police all right, miguel, thank you so much. Were going to cut you off right now. Were going to cover right now boys 2 men performing on stage. Jimmy thats right. Ill tell you something, nobody interrupts boyz ii men on jake tappers watch. [ cheers and applause ] the outrage that people are getting mad, intensefied after wikileaks released thousands of hacked emails where Democratic NationalCommittee Staffers exchanged ideas how to weaken the Bernie Sanders campaign to help the Hillary Clinton campaign. Maybe the democrats need to stop using email. It might be time to bring carrier pin jocar Carrier Pigeons back. There are reports russians have hacked the servers, looking at information for a year. If russia did do this, i think we start making them villains in our action movies again. Its time for Sylvester Stallone to get back to work. If the intent of this leak was to cause a commotion, it worked. All the turmoil overshadowed what was the big news this weekend, which was Hillary Clintons choice for running mate, virginia senator tim kaine. This is hillary and tim. They are either bumping fists or clinking imaginary memos sas, i dont know. We learned a lot about tim kaine this weekend. For one thin
