Monday's Storms Cause Flooding in Norristown [PHOTOS]

A storm system that passed through the area on Monday caused flooding thoughout Norristown and the surrounding municipalities, and left evening commuters searching for a dry route home.

Additionally, Norristown Patch readers began sending in reports of flooding on Sterigere Street, Stonybrook Condominiums in West Norristown, and the intersection of Arch Street and Johnson Highway.

Roughly an hour later, storm-related incidents continued to be called in to emergency services, including:

• A vehicle accident with injuries at Pine Street and Johnson Highway.
• A road obstruction at Chestnut and Potts Avenue in West Norriton.
• A pump detail at Spruce Street and Park Aly.
