DNC CONVENTION | Storm threat on Day 4 of Democratic convention
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Philadelphia city officials are warning Democratic National Convention visitors and protesters of a possible repeat of Monday’s thunderstorms and heavy rain.
They say there could be flash flooding on area roads Thursday afternoon through Friday.
No marches are planned by protesters Thursday. But a daylong demonstration is set to be held near City Hall, 4 miles from the convention site. Organizers were still setting up shortly before noon.
On Monday night, a torrential rainstorm forced demonstrators near the convention site to seek cover under a highway overpass and at a subway stop nearly a mile away. Some used signs as umbrellas.
