Morning thunderstorm knocks out traffic signals

A Delray Beach Police Department cruiser with hazard lights on watches over the Congress and Atlantic avenues intersection.

A line of thunderstorms knocked out the traffic lights at Interstate I-95 and Atlantic Ave. just before 10 a.m. this morning. A Delray Beach Police Department cruiser has made it to the scene. Lightning was heavy in the area from 8 to 10 a.m.

Also at Congress and Atlantic avenues, a police cruiser is monitoring a heavy traffic situation there.

Police cruisers are also strategically placed on Atlantic Avenue eastbound into downtown as the Delray Beach area continues to be blanketed with rain.
