A Starbucks spokeswoman confirms that manager of Rittenhouse Square location who called police last week no longer works at the store. Protests continued today outside the coffee shop at 18th and Spruce in Center City Philadelphia. Demonstrators from various groups were waiting for the store to open at 7 a.m. and went inside. The location ultimately closed for the day. Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson is in Philadelphia and plans to meet with the two men who were arrested to apologize to them face to face.

Heavy rains overnight and Monday morning have created headaches for motorists trying to travel around the region. Localized flooding and ponding have made many roads impassable including large roads such as I-76. A Flash Flood Warning is still in effect for the region until 6:30 p.m. Area creeks are being pushed to the limit. If you come across a flooded roadway, do not try and pass it. It is not easy to tell how deep the water may be and only a small amount of water is needed to carry a vehicle away.

You might have had better luck with a boat along a stretch of the Schuylkill Expressway in Lower Merion, Montgomery County Monday morning. https://t.co/YZ5XVsDIij pic.twitter.com/VIxN3ZPyD0
