Home of Philadelphia's WMMR radio station damaged in severe storms
At One Bala Plaza in Bala Cynwyd, which is home to the Philadelphia radio station WMMR, part of the roof fell into a back parking lot during severe storms on Thursday night, leaving behind chunks of roofing, insulation and even some wood beams. Fortunately, no one was injured. "We heard this big crash and people started calling us, saying, 'Hey the roof just blew off,'" said Beasley Media Group's chief engineer Rodney Byrd. "We lost the roofing of the upper part of our building here." Several cars were damaged, including a station vehicle whose back window shattered. Byrd said despite the damage, he's grateful it wasn't any worse. "Everyone is OK, that's all that matters," Byrd said. In Philadelphia's East Oak Lane neighborhood, a child was injured Thursday after they were trapped under a tree during the storm. The child was rescued and taken to Einstein Medical Center. Another person was hurt after a tree fell on a car in Overbrook. The storm knocked out power for thousands of households in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware and even left Jefferson Abington Hospital in Montgomery County without electricity for hours. The threat of severe storms has passed for the Philadelphia area, but the NEXT Weather Team is tracking a heat wave that moves in this weekend and could bring multiple days of temperatures in the upper 90s or higher.

Highway 417 reopened after serious crash sends man to hospital
A man has been hospitalized with potentially life-threatening injuries following a crash on Highway 417 late Thursday morning that closed the eastbound lanes through downtown Ottawa for several hours. First responders were called to the scene of the two-vehicle crash near the Metcalfe Street exit at around 11:55 a.m., an Ottawa Paramedic Service spokesperson told CBC. One vehicle was rear-ended, paramedics said, causing it to spin out and hit the highway's guard rail. The critically injured man was inside the vehicle that was struck, paramedics said. It's believed he was also injured by personal objects that were inside the vehicle, they added. The man was the only person taken to hospital. The highway's eastbound lanes were closed near the Metcalfe exit after the crash. They were reopened shortly after 4 p.m., although Ontario Provincial Police warned that traffic would be heavy until the backlog was cleared.

'Multiple hikers' injured or killed in rock slide near Bow Lake in Banff National Park, RCMP says
Numerous hikers have been caught in a rock slide north of Lake Louise with multiple people injured or killed, according to the RCMP. At around 1:30 p.m., Lake Louise RCMP were notified that "multiple hikers" were caught in a rock slide on a trail in the Bow Lake/Bow Glacier Falls area. RCMP Cpl. Gina Slaney said the latest info available is that the incident involves "serious injuries and/or multiple fatalities," but she didn't have exact details as there is no cell service in the area and getting info from the scene is difficult. Parks Canada, the Lake Louise fire department, STARS Air Ambulance and the RCMP are all responding and working to access the scene, she said. Parks Canada said in an email the agency is "responding to a report of a serious rockfall incident with involvement near Bow Glacier Falls" in Banff National Park, about 37 kilometres north of Lake Louise on the Icefields Parkway, also known as Highway 93 North. Temporary closures are expected on the highway near Bow Lake and "Parks Canada asks that visitors avoid the area while teams respond."
