Philadelphia Hailstorm: Streets Buried Under Ice! What Happened in Pennsylvania? | US | World

A powerful hailstorm swept across the Philadelphia region in Pennsylvania on November 12, 2026, leaving streets covered in massive piles of ice and disrupting traffic across several communities. Parkside Borough in Delaware County witnessed extraordinary hail accumulation, with roads appearing as though they had been covered in snow. Crews were seen shovelling hail from streets after motorists reportedly became stranded, forcing authorities to close affected roads. The National Weather Service recorded hail measuring up to 1.75 inches across the wider Philadelphia region, including parts of Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey. Several locations reported hail measuring between one and 1.5 inches. The severe thunderstorms also brought torrential rainfall, flash flooding and damaging winds. Water rescues were reported in Delaware County, while flooding disrupted traffic on major highways, including I-95, I-476 and the Schuylkill Expressway. The storm system also produced tornadoes in neighbouring Delaware and New Jersey. A tornado was confirmed in New Castle County, Delaware, near Christiana Hospital, where a medical helicopter sustained damage. The unusual November weather event left communities dealing with hail accumulation, flooding and storm damage as colder conditions moved into the northeastern United States.
