The region was again under a flash flood warning from the National Weather Service until 6:45 p.m. on Thursday.

Wednesday's heavy rains caused travel issues around the region, and the weather caused a roof collapse at a Montgomery County Acme store. The roof at the Flourtown Acme collapsed in the early morning hours Thursday. It could have been due to a lightning strike, CBS Philly reported.
