Philadelphia officials say 41 people have been treated for heat-related issues or other injuries during protests related to the Democratic convention.

They say 17 of those treated have been taken to hospitals to be evaluated. The injuries stemmed from falls, allergies and difficulty in the scorching heat that reached the high 90s in Philadelphia before thunderstorms rolled through Monday evening.

A police spokesman says there are no immediate injuries being reported from the strong storm that led protesters to seek shelter under highway underpasses.

The storm also led some of the hundreds of journalists working at the convention to evacuate a media tent near the Wells Fargo Center.
