Camden, Gloucester, and Burlington Counties in New Jersey also had power outages.
SEPTA service south of Philadelphia was delayed or suspended. Trees on tracks and snapped wires shut down the Media/Elwyn Line for the evening, a spokeswoman said. SEPTA hoped to restore service for Friday morning's commute.
Delaware and Chester Counties were especially hard-hit.
A woman and her two daughters were traveling on West Greenwood Avenue in Lansdowne, Delaware County, when a large tree crashed on their Lexus, trapping two of the occupants, police said. The youngest daughter got out of the car and ran to a nearby house, where 911 was called, Lansdowne Police Sgt. Dan Donegan said. Firefighters rescued the mother and teenage daughter from the Lexus, which was surrounded by downed power lines, Donegan said.
Both were taken to a local hospital to be treated for minor injuries, Donegan said. When asked what kind of tree fell on the car, Donegan laughed. "It was a big tree," he replied.
In Willistown, Chester County, there were dozens of felled trees, wires dangling, natural debris as deep as the snow had been in winter. At the McDonald's in Newtown Square, people were lined up outside the door as late as 9 p.m. because other restaurants were closed or they had no power at home.
Several large trees came down near Citizens Bank Park, where the storm interrupted the Phillies-Cleveland Indians game with 45,085 in attendance. After umpire crew chief Gerry Davis signaled for play to stop, head groundskeeper Mike Boekholder and the rest of the Phillies grounds crew rushed onto the field as fans scrambled for the safety of the ballpark corridors. Boekholder said he had prepared for the worst by calling in extra help.
